GenONet: A Generative operator Network for High-Resolution Precipitation Nowcasting

GenONet introduces a Spatio-Temporal U-DeepONet architecture that serves as a generator in a GAN framework for high‑resolution precipitation nowcasting up to three hours ahead. By learning continuous‑time precipitation dynamics with a Deep Operator Network and enforcing physics through a moisture‑conservation loss, the model produces sharp, physically consistent forecasts that outperform baselines, especially for high‑intensity events and longer lead times. Ablation studies confirm the added value of the physics‑informed regularizer and the synergy of operator learning with adversarial training.

Physical knowledge on historical data matters more than enforcing physical constraints on the forecast

The paper introduces a Physics Informed Recurrent Neural Network (PIRNN) that simultaneously predicts target time series and unobservable intermediate physical variables, enhancing robustness and interpretability. It adapts to any physical model with multiple equations and variables, demonstrated on groundwater level predictions using the Gardenia model. Experiments on twelve real‑world datasets show PIRNN outperforming several neural network baselines and the Gardenia model, with an ablation study confirming the value of physical knowledge.

History-informed Lagrangian Neural Networks

arXiv:2608. 13215v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Forecasting the long-horizon evolution of mechanical systems from position-only observations is a pivotal yet difficult task, as hidden velocities and trajectory-specific physical properties must be inferred simultaneously.

WinoTS: Wavelet-based Self-Distillation for Time Series Models

WinoTS introduces a wavelet‑based self‑distillation framework for time‑series models that uses time‑frequency augmentations to create multi‑scale structural views, avoiding distortion of signal dynamics. The method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines in long‑term forecasting, cross‑domain zero‑shot transfer, and unsupervised anomaly detection, and linear probing on frozen representations often beats fully supervised training from scratch. Ablation studies show WinoTS is architecture‑agnostic and demonstrates that time‑frequency transformations offer a principled alternative to vision‑style spatial augmentations.

Structured Latent Space Modeling over Multi-Scale Temporal Patches for Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

arXiv:2607. 19404v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multivariate time series encode structural patterns that unfold across multiple temporal scales, yet most forecasting backbones treat learned representations as transient byproducts of prediction, leaving the organizational geometry of these patterns underexploited.
