Spectral Retrieval-Augmented Time-Series Forecasting

arXiv:2606. 19412v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series forecasting leverages historical patterns to predict future values, but traditional methods face challenges when dealing with complex, non-stationary patterns that are difficult to memorize during training.

Stationarity-Aware Retrieval-Augmented Time Series Forecasting

arXiv:2606. 04135v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series forecasting relies on historical patterns, but real-world series often exhibit non-stationarity and regime shifts that challenge fully parametric forecasters.

TS-RAG: Retrieval Augmented Generation for Time Series Forecasting

While deep learning models, particularly transformer-based architectures, have shown impressive performance in time series forecasting, the application of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) in this domain remains limited. Since RAG has proven effective in enhancing the capabilities of large language models by incorporating relevant external information, retrieving similar time series sequences as references might also improve accuracy in time series forecasting tasks.

SETTer: Sparse-Encoder Transformer for Long-term Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

SETTer is a transformer-based model designed for long‑term multivariate time‑series forecasting. It introduces decoupled self‑attention and hybrid masking to better handle high dimensionality and complex relationships, while adding explainable structures to highlight discriminative patterns. Experiments on real‑world benchmarks show that SETTer outperforms state‑of‑the‑art models in 88% of scenarios.

Compositional Spectral Prompts for LLM-based Online Time Series Forecasting

The paper introduces CoSPOT, an online time series forecasting framework that uses a frozen pre‑trained large language model (LLM) as the core forecaster. CoSPOT adapts to evolving data by applying compositional spectral prompts—frequency‑domain basis prompts weighted by their amplitudes—allowing the model to represent unseen patterns as new combinations of learned bases while updating few parameters. Experiments on real‑world datasets show CoSPOT’s effectiveness in extended online phases and cross‑dataset scenarios with significant distribution shifts.
