AsyTO: Asymmetric Temporal Operator for Parameter-Efficient Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

arXiv:2608. 16098v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multivariate time-series forecasting faces a structural dilemma: sharing one temporal predictor across variables is parameter-efficient but forces heterogeneous variables through an identical history-to-future map, whereas learning an independent predictor per variable restores flexibility at a cost that grows with the product of variable count, context length, and horizon.

CoRe: Coherence and Relational Alignment for Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

CoRe is a model‑agnostic learning objective for direct multivariate time‑series forecasting that replaces pointwise errors with two output‑space constraints: a frequency coherence loss aligning predicted and target spectra, and a low‑rank relational graph loss matching pairwise differences in a PCA subspace. The objective introduces no trainable parameters and can be applied to existing forecasting backbones by changing only the loss. Experiments on standard benchmarks show that CoRe improves strong baselines, compares favorably with recent forecasting objectives, and remains effective across different backbones, datasets, and hyperparameter settings.

Forecast Collapse in Time-Series Foundation Models

arXiv:2608. 14106v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When forecasting hourly returns for 1,000 US equities, we observe an unexpected phenomenon: predictions become nearly flat and show poor stock ranking, as measured by cross-sectional correlation.
