Explainable Load Forecasting with Covariate-Informed Time Series Foundation Models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] · 2026-04-30 17:36

Researchers have developed a method to make Time Series Foundation Models (TSFMs) more transparent for critical infrastructure applications like power grids. Their approach uses Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) to explain model predictions by selectively withholding inputs, allowing for scalable analysis. Evaluations on day-ahead load forecasting showed TSFMs like Chronos-2 and TabPFN-TS performed competitively and their explanations aligned with domain knowledge, demonstrating their potential as reliable tools.
