VertiFuseX: Generalizable Financial Forecasting via Multi-Stream Temporal Fusion

VertiFuseX is a hybrid LSTM architecture that fuses multi‑scale temporal representations at the penultimate layer, stacking features from LSTM, Bi‑LSTM, and St‑LSTM branches and a parallel DNN stream. On 15 years of global equity index data, it reduces MAPE by 30‑54% and improves MAE and RMSE by over 40% compared to LSTM baselines, outperforming seven state‑of‑the‑art models across 33 metric‑dataset comparisons. The model is lightweight (675k parameters, 2.6 MB footprint) with 1.5 ms/sample inference latency and demonstrates robust, interpretable forecasting with reduced drawdowns in algorithmic trading simulations.

Channel-Dependent State Space Model for Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

The paper introduces Chameleon, a channel‑dependent state space model for multivariate time series forecasting that allows data‑dependent, fine‑grained interactions across variables while maintaining linear scaling with the number of variables. By integrating selective state space models with a Kalman filter and adapting GatedDeltaNet as the backbone, Chameleon improves generalization and achieves lower MSE and MAE on strongly dependent ODE and PEMS datasets compared to both channel‑independent and prior channel‑dependent methods. Across 28 benchmark settings, it outperforms baselines in the majority of cases and demonstrates competitive training‑time and memory efficiency on Traffic and ETT datasets.

WaveletDiff: Multilevel Wavelet Diffusion For Time Series Generation

WaveletDiff is a diffusion-based framework that generates time series by training directly on wavelet coefficients, leveraging multi-resolution structure through level‑specific transformers and cross‑level attention with adaptive gating. The model incorporates Parseval‑theorem‑based energy constraints to preserve time‑frequency properties during diffusion. Experiments on six real‑world datasets from energy, finance, and neuroscience show that WaveletDiff outperforms several diffusion baselines and competes with the VAE/transformer‑based MSDformer, achieving lower discriminative and Context‑FID scores while using fewer parameters and less training time.
