arXiv:2606. 02497v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series forecasting has advanced rapidly, especially with the emergence of foundation models that show strong zero-shot performance on numerical extrapolation.
The paper investigates when forecasting agents should employ different behaviors—retrieval, reasoning, deferring to market priors, or using historical analogs—on binary forecasting tasks. It finds that the optimal mechanism depends on the data source, with structured analogs excelling for some processes and market or conservative baselines for others. The authors propose ReliabilityRoute, a rule‑based system that steers agent behavior using reliability features, achieving competitive performance across multiple LLM versions while highlighting that more reasoning is not always better.
arXiv:2608. 03031v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series forecasting is fundamental to decision-making in complex systems, where future dynamics are influenced not only by historical observations but also by evolving contextual features.
arXiv:2608. 03339v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprise forecasting increasingly relies on autonomous agents that interpret documents, search for data, generate code, and revise models.
Forecast-Dojo is a replayable environment designed to benchmark and train large language model (LLM) forecasting agents. It integrates resolved prediction‑market questions with dated news, enabling agents to research events and revisit predictions at successive historical dates. The platform includes 1,568 Polymarket events, 18.8 million dated news articles, and supports repeated evaluation, training interactions, and outcome feedback, with evidence that research tools lower Brier scores across 12 tested models, though all models still lag behind historical market forecasts.
