Less Tokens, Better Forecasts: Sparse Residual Routing for Efficient Weather Prediction

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2607. 02829v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing ViT-based weather forecasting models apply uniform computation across all spatial tokens, even though nearby atmospheric grid points often contain similar values and large regions evolve smoothly over time.

AsyncCouple-Flow: Asynchronous Cross-Modal Coupling and Flow Matching for Spatio-Temporal Forecasting

AsyncCouple-Flow introduces a new framework for multi‑modal spatio‑temporal forecasting that tackles three key challenges: differing sampling rates, missing modalities, and autoregressive error accumulation. It employs a Modality‑Aware Token Sparsification module to produce equal‑length sequences, an Asynchronous Cross‑Modal Coupling Graph to fuse data under arbitrary asynchrony and missingness, and a Flow‑Matching Forecasting Head that models multi‑step prediction as a conditional ODE. Experiments on weather and traffic datasets demonstrate that the method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines and remains robust even when up to two modalities are missing.

OceanMoE: Structured Conditional Sparse Computation for Long-Horizon Multivariate Ocean Forecasting

OceanMoE is a structured conditional sparse Mixture-of-Experts framework designed for long‑horizon multivariate ocean forecasting. It fuses cross‑variable information to build target‑specific local representations and performs content‑conditioned sparse routing at each spatial location, with the number of active experts adjusted by router confidence. Experiments on ORAS5 data show that OceanMoE reduces aggregate forecasting error and maintains lower geometric‑mean normalized RMSE compared to baselines, while expert allocation varies with prediction targets and locations.

Benchmarking Physics-Informed Time-Series Models for Operational Global Station Weather Forecasting

arXiv:2406. 14399v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The development of Time-Series Forecasting (TSF) models is often constrained by the lack of comprehensive datasets, especially in Global Station Weather Forecasting (GSWF), where existing datasets are small, temporally short, and spatially sparse.
