SwitchPFN: Shared Switching Dynamics for Frozen In-Context Time Series Classification

SwitchPFN introduces a shared projection and regime codebook for time‑series classification with tabular foundation models, preserving local temporal transitions while ensuring consistent feature definitions across samples. The method outperforms existing representations, achieving the highest mean accuracy on evaluated benchmarks and improving the strongest baseline by 4.47% relative. Ablation, sensitivity, and limited‑data experiments confirm the benefits of the proposed representation design.
