The paper introduces a Time-Aware Bag-of-Receptive-Fields (BORF) for classifying irregular time series, extending the original BORF to handle non-uniform sampling, missing data, and variable lengths. It adds a time-weighted normalization that weights observations by their time deltas, enabling pattern extraction that reflects the true temporal distribution. The method maintains linear time complexity and is evaluated against state‑of‑the‑art irregular time‑series classifiers, achieving competitive performance while providing human‑interpretable explanations.

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.
SMart is a new time series representation learning framework that combines a multi-phase recurrence plot recovery task with a source dataset selector. The recovery task uses three alternative modes to guide the encoder in capturing time series dynamics, while the selector chooses multiple suitable source datasets to augment the target dataset during pre‑training. Experiments demonstrate that SMart surpasses state‑of‑the‑art models, reducing mean absolute error by up to 19.5% in regression and increasing classification accuracy by up to 1.34%.
