WinoTS introduces a wavelet‑based self‑distillation framework for time‑series models that uses time‑frequency augmentations to create multi‑scale structural views, avoiding distortion of signal dynamics. The method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines in long‑term forecasting, cross‑domain zero‑shot transfer, and unsupervised anomaly detection, and linear probing on frozen representations often beats fully supervised training from scratch. Ablation studies show WinoTS is architecture‑agnostic and demonstrates that time‑frequency transformations offer a principled alternative to vision‑style spatial augmentations.

arXiv:2607. 00228v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern time-domain surveys such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) generate hundreds of thousands of alerts each night, making real-time decisions for follow-up observations a central challenge in time-domain astronomy.

arXiv:2604. 09787v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Data collected from the physical world is always a combination of multiple sources: an underlying signal from the physical process of interest and a signal from measurement-dependent artifacts from the sensor or instrument.
