This thesis introduces three methods to improve the training efficiency and scalability of Neural Controlled Differential Equations (NCDEs), a class of models for continuous-time series data. The proposed techniques include Log-NCDEs for faster approximation, Linear NCDEs for closed-form solutions and parallel computation, and Structured Linear NCDEs for further efficiency gains. These advancements collectively reduce training time by up to three orders of magnitude while achieving state-of-the-art results on time series benchmarks. AI
IMPACT These advancements could enable more efficient training of continuous-time models, potentially improving performance on complex time series tasks.
