HypLTSF: A Hyperbolic Geometric View of Multi-Scale Hierarchies for Long-Term Time Series Forecasting

HypLTSF introduces a hyperbolic geometric framework for long‑term time series forecasting by embedding multi‑scale representations into the Poincaré ball. The approach imposes radial and angular constraints to align the geometry with temporal hierarchies, ensuring that coarser scales abstract finer ones and that related fine‑scale patterns share common ancestors. Experiments on forecasting benchmarks demonstrate that this explicit geometric modeling of the hierarchy yields state‑of‑the‑art performance.

Learning to Forecast on Multiple Spatiotemporal Hierarchies

The paper introduces a graph deep learning framework that learns to forecast spatiotemporal data across multiple hierarchical structures, using variations among hierarchies as multi‑task regularization. By jointly training on different aggregation levels, the model reduces over‑specialization and improves forecasting accuracy. A novel top‑down operator ensures coherent forecasts with linear time and space complexity, making the approach computationally efficient.

LagNet: Lag-Structured Operators for Long-Term Time Series Forecasting

LagNet introduces LagLayer, a Toeplitz‑structured operator that ties history‑to‑future connections by relative lag, replacing traditional temporal linear layers in forecasting models. By stacking LagLayers with activations and multiple feature maps, LagNet achieves competitive performance on long‑term time series benchmarks. Sensitivity matrix diagnostics and limited‑data experiments show that LagLayer offers a sample‑efficient alternative to linear layers.

Explaining Time Series Forecasting with Horizon-Resolved Attribution

The paper introduces Horizon-Resolved eXplanation (HRX), a framework that adds a horizon axis to time‑series forecasting explanations, allowing each forecast step to have its own importance map. HRX operates as a plug‑in for any differentiable forecaster, includes an evaluation protocol that tests the impact of removing top‑ranked inputs, and a rank criterion to decide when horizon resolution is beneficial. Experiments across multiple backbones and datasets demonstrate that incorporating the horizon axis improves explanation quality and that the step‑wise dependence is low‑dimensional, requiring only a few shared maps regardless of forecast length.

ShapeLex: Decoupling Local Shape Symbolization and Global Scale Modeling for Text-Controlled Time Series Generation

ShapeLex introduces a two-stage approach for text-controlled time series generation. It first creates a reusable vocabulary of discrete shape units—such as rises, spikes, and sharp drops—derived from training data, then uses an autoregressive generator to select and arrange these shapes based on textual input while adjusting their position and duration. Finally, a mixture-density scale head models global attributes like level and volatility to produce realistic time series that align closely with real data distributions.
