Latent Laplace Diffusion for Irregular Multivariate Time Series

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2605. 19805v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Irregular multivariate time series impose a trade-off for long-horizon forecasting: discrete methods can distort temporal structure via re-gridding, while continuous-time models often require sequential solvers prone to drift.

HALO: Enhancing Time Series Generation via Hyperspherical Latents and Masked AutoregRessive Modeling

HALO introduces a hyperspherical VAE to constrain continuous latent representations to a fixed‑radius shell, stabilizing numerical fluctuations. It then employs a masked autoregressive model that balances parallel decoding with temporal correlation learning, reducing inference steps and improving stability. Experiments show HALO achieves state‑of‑the‑art generation performance with significantly better inference efficiency compared to existing baselines.

Prequential posteriors

The paper introduces prequential posteriors, a Bayesian approach that uses a predictive‑sequential loss function to update deep generative forecasting models (DGFMs) when new data arrive. By adopting a consistency notion suitable for model misspecification, the authors prove that both the loss minimizer and the posterior concentrate on parameters with optimal predictive performance. Scalable inference is achieved with parallelisable waste‑free sequential Monte Carlo samplers that employ preconditioned gradient kernels, and the method is validated on synthetic and real meteorological time‑series data.

PAC-Bayesian Reconstruction Guarantees for Time Series Variational Autoencoders

The paper presents PAC‑Bayesian reconstruction guarantees for Variational Autoencoders applied to time‑series data. It extends existing bounds, which were limited to i.i.d. settings, to Markovian latent structures, allowing temporal dependencies to be captured without the bounds growing with trajectory length. The authors also provide an example framework showing that the required assumptions are not overly restrictive.
