AdaCast introduces a conditional parameter generation framework that tailors time‑series forecasting models to each input by producing low‑rank updates for a frozen pretrained foundation model. Unlike static adaptation methods that apply a single set of updates to all inputs, AdaCast generates input‑specific updates during both training and inference. Experiments on six public benchmarks show that AdaCast consistently outperforms static baselines in in‑domain forecasting and improves zero‑shot generalization to unseen datasets across domains.

The paper introduces Chameleon, a channel‑dependent state space model for multivariate time series forecasting that allows data‑dependent, fine‑grained interactions across variables while maintaining linear scaling with the number of variables. By integrating selective state space models with a Kalman filter and adapting GatedDeltaNet as the backbone, Chameleon improves generalization and achieves lower MSE and MAE on strongly dependent ODE and PEMS datasets compared to both channel‑independent and prior channel‑dependent methods. Across 28 benchmark settings, it outperforms baselines in the majority of cases and demonstrates competitive training‑time and memory efficiency on Traffic and ETT datasets.

The paper introduces series‑wise cross‑validation (CV) for global time‑series forecasting models, contrasting it with the traditional time‑wise CV that partitions data along the time axis. It formalizes several series‑wise CV schemes—K‑fold, bootstrapping, and Monte Carlo—and evaluates them on 11 datasets with 10 neural network architectures across five metrics, including performance estimation, overoptimism, model selection accuracy, regret, and downstream forecasting performance. The study finds that series‑wise CV improves downstream forecasting accuracy by better guiding model selection for generalization across both time and series, while time‑wise CV slightly outperforms it for estimating out‑of‑sample error.

The paper investigates how post‑generation assembly of fixed‑length synthetic windows affects downstream forecasting performance. By varying overlap rates and window‑weighting schemes, the authors evaluate boundary continuity, statistical and temporal fidelity, and TSTR utility across four public datasets and five forecasting models. Results show that optimal assembly depends on the forecaster, with increased overlap improving continuity but not always reducing forecasting error, and provide assembly grids and TRTR references to quantify these effects.

Dual-Context Analog Retrieval for Time Series Forecasting (DuoTS) introduces a two-stage forecasting approach that first generates a base forecast and then refines it patch by patch. Each refinement step fuses a current context, which focuses on recent tokens, with a detail context that incorporates retrieved analogs and their subsequent trajectories. Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that DuoTS achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance, and ablation studies confirm the importance of both contexts and the refinement mechanism.

Aurora‑X is a billion‑parameter time‑series foundation model designed for extreme forecasting tasks. It employs a progressive curriculum that starts with channel‑independent pretraining, then adds cross‑variable dependencies, variable context and horizon lengths, and optional future covariates during mid‑training. A variable‑resolution post‑training stage allows adjustable temporal spans per token at inference, while a pattern‑guided mixture‑of‑experts expands capacity through sparse activation and expert specialization. An implicit quantile network head predicts arbitrary quantiles, enhancing probabilistic forecasting flexibility. Experiments on GIFT‑Eval, TIME, FEV‑Bench, TFB, and DAG‑Bench show state‑of‑the‑art performance against both pretrained TSFMs and task‑specific supervised models.
