FARR: Forecast-Aware Residual Refinement with Matched Endpoint Evidence for Long-Horizon Time-Series Forecasting

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces Forecast‑Aware Residual Refinement (FARR), a method that refines long‑horizon time‑series forecasts by learning to correct predictions using endpoint evidence. FARR generates a valid forecast under normal conditions and a null forecast under a predefined null condition; the difference between these forecasts indicates how auxiliary conditioning affects the prediction. A shared residual refiner then combines this endpoint evidence with historical features to estimate the remaining error, and horizon‑wise gating controls the contribution of the predicted residual to the final output. Experiments on four long‑horizon benchmarks demonstrate that FARR achieves the best average MSE and MAE among compared methods.

ROAR: Retrieval Opportunity-Aware Refinement for Zero-Shot Time Series Forecasting

ROAR is a Retrieval Opportunity-Aware Refinement framework designed for zero-shot time series forecasting. It enhances predictions by weighting queries according to base-forecast difficulty and the improvement potential of retrieved historical candidates, then learning a gate to control correction strength. The method jointly calibrates the forecasting module and gate, anchoring the final prediction to an initial refined output, and achieves the lowest average MSE across seven benchmarks compared to other methods.

RATL: Learning from Retrieved Residuals for Robust Multivariate Time-Series Forecasting

RATL is a plug‑in method for multivariate time‑series forecasting that uses a frozen base forecaster to build a memory of its historical forecast residuals. During inference, RATL retrieves residual trajectories from similar past contexts and employs a set‑aware router to combine them, providing learned feedback correction. Experiments demonstrate that this residual‑retrieval approach improves the performance of the base forecaster across various benchmarks and backbones.
