GateFormer is a vision‑transformer model that forecasts intra‑hour global horizontal irradiance (GHI) from sky images by decomposing the forecast into a trajectory prediction and a delta prediction, then adaptively weighting these two outputs. It incorporates recent GHI measurements into the visual token stream, enabling self‑attention between image patches and irradiance data. On multiple benchmarks (NREL‑TSI, Chilbolton, SIRTA) GateFormer achieves the lowest final‑horizon root‑mean‑square error, outperforming state‑of‑the‑art transformers and demonstrating significant gains during rapid irradiance ramps.

GateFormer is a dual‑decoder Vision Transformer that forecasts intra‑hour global horizontal irradiance (GHI) from sky images by embedding observed GHI into the visual token stream and predicting both a future GHI trajectory and the final‑horizon change. The two predictions are adaptively weighted in prediction space, with magnitude‑ and direction‑supervision to reduce remaining error. On multiple benchmarks, GateFormer achieves the lowest final‑horizon RMSE, outperforming state‑of‑the‑art transformers and showing significant gains especially during positive ramp events.

The paper introduces SolCloudLLM, a large language model–based framework that fuses sky‑image patches with time‑series data through bidirectional multimodal fusion for short‑term solar forecasting. Experiments on the SIRTA and SKIPP'D datasets show that SolCloudLLM outperforms existing baselines, achieving up to a 25.4% reduction in mean squared error, especially under cloudy conditions and in few‑shot scenarios.

arXiv:2606. 12987v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Action-conditioned world models let an autonomous vehicle predict future camera scenes from its own planned controls, enabling planning and simulation without real-world rollouts, but at compact, trainable scale the futures are ambiguous and the field's standard distortion metrics actively mislead: they reward a blurry regression mean over a realistic prediction.

Triangular Resampling (TR) is a post‑training technique designed to reduce long‑horizon error accumulation in motion diffusion models by extending rollout‑based training to partially denoised states. TR uses a shared denoising threshold to replay multi‑step triangular denoising without gradient tracking, replacing states below the threshold with noise‑matched ground truth while retaining predictions above it. The method, applied to HumanML3D motion generation, achieves state‑of‑the‑art FID AUC, reducing it by 40.9% and the FID degradation slope by 55.3% compared to matched post‑training without replay.
