RATL: Learning from Retrieved Residuals for Robust Multivariate Time-Series Forecasting

RATL is a plug‑in method for multivariate time‑series forecasting that uses a frozen base forecaster to build a memory of its historical forecast residuals. During inference, RATL retrieves residual trajectories from similar past contexts and employs a set‑aware router to combine them, providing learned feedback correction. Experiments demonstrate that this residual‑retrieval approach improves the performance of the base forecaster across various benchmarks and backbones.

AsyTO: Asymmetric Temporal Operator for Parameter-Efficient Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

arXiv:2608. 16098v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multivariate time-series forecasting faces a structural dilemma: sharing one temporal predictor across variables is parameter-efficient but forces heterogeneous variables through an identical history-to-future map, whereas learning an independent predictor per variable restores flexibility at a cost that grows with the product of variable count, context length, and horizon.

Large Distant Gradients Need Not Be Reliable: reliability-weighted credit assignment for long-horizon autoregressive forecasting

The paper introduces Internal Dual-Wiener routing (Internal‑DW), a backward‑only method that weight‑balances internal gradient routes in autoregressive forecasting. By estimating bounded Wiener gains for identity and nonlinear paths, it suppresses unpredictable noise while preserving predictable learning signals, reducing forecast error by 5.2%–13.8% on four weak‑drive testbeds compared to full BPTT and outperforming gradient clipping, Jacobian regularization, and truncated BPTT in most cases. The approach shows that long‑horizon supervision can be effective without trusting every backward gradient equally.
