Look Back, Correct Forward: Error Feedback Calibration for Time Series Forecasting

The paper introduces Error Feedback Calibration (EFC), a test‑time framework that corrects deterministic time‑series forecasts by using revealed errors as causal feedback. EFC builds a Causal Error Diagonal (CED) from overlapping historical forecast errors, applies Cumulative Error Transport (CET) to map this error state to future residuals, and employs Temporal Residual Learning (TRL) to predict remaining residual structure. Experiments across various forecasting backbones and datasets demonstrate that EFC improves performance while limiting over‑correction.

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.
