Byte Pair Encoding for Efficient Time Series Forecasting
arXiv:2505. 14411v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing time series tokenization methods predominantly encode a constant number of samples into individual tokens.
The paper introduces TimeFT, a new tokenizer for time series that operates in the frequency domain to avoid spectral distortions caused by traditional subsequence partitioning. It uses frequency-domain partitioning, frequency shifting, and Nyquist sampling, is parameter‑free, and adds negligible computational overhead. Experiments across forecasting, classification, and anomaly detection show consistent and significant performance gains over existing tokenizers.

arXiv:2602. 08638v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As a fundamental data mining task, unsupervised time series anomaly detection (TSAD) aims to build a model for identifying abnormal timestamps without assuming the availability of annotations.
The paper introduces m-WCN, an end‑to‑end deep learning framework that neuralizes multi‑wavelet decomposition to jointly extract temporal patterns and frequency components from time series. Two task‑specific architectures built on m‑WCN—TFBC for classification and FTB for forecasting—are shown to outperform baseline models on 64 UCR datasets and seven forecasting benchmarks, achieving average improvements of nearly 20% in both tasks. The approach leverages trainable convolutional operators and orthogonality constraints to produce interpretable multi‑resolution representations.

It enforces orthogonality constraints to produce interpretable multi‑resolution representations, and builds two task‑specific architectures—TFBC for classification and FTB for forecasting—on top of this foundation. Experiments on 64 UCR datasets and seven forecasting benchmarks show that TFBC and FTB outperform baseline models, achieving average improvements of about 20% in both classification and forecasting tasks.
