The paper introduces MuViS-C, a multi‑domain benchmark that evaluates the robustness of learning‑based virtual sensing models against ten common sensor failure modes, ranging from subtle drifts to catastrophic dropouts. It assesses models using average error, relative degradation, and worst‑case fragility across nine datasets from six domains, comparing six architectures (gradient‑boosted trees, convolution, recurrence, attention, and MLP‑mixing). The study finds that all models degrade under corruption, gradient‑boosted trees are most robust, and targeted robustification can improve attention models at the cost of nominal performance.
Virtual sensing, the estimation of hard-to-measure quantities from available sensor measurements, is a critical enabler for control and monitoring in cyber-physical systems. However, when sensors fail...

The paper argues that current time‑series forecasting benchmarks are too narrow, rewarding low held‑out error while failing to capture real‑world failure modes such as structured input anomalies, regime shifts, and sensor faults. It proposes scenario‑grounded stress testing, where each test includes historical data, future targets, a semantic scenario, a failure operator, and a difficulty level, to make evaluation interpretable and deployment‑relevant.
