KITE: A Knowledge-Injected Temporal Encoder for Time-Series Event Forecasting

KITE is a knowledge‑injected temporal encoder that augments self‑supervised event forecasting with semantic priors supplied by system engineers. It uses two switchable mechanisms—a covariate mechanism and an attention‑bias mechanism—so the same architecture can incorporate different prior types without per‑dataset tuning. Experiments show that informative priors improve performance in short contexts and enable out‑of‑domain transfer, while priors already present in the observed window have little effect.
