Researchers have developed Hopformer, a novel two-stage framework designed to improve time series forecasting. The first stage employs a Sparsity Pattern Aggregation (SPA) scheme to extract a common trend that integrates covariates, acting as a homogenization layer. The second stage utilizes a LoRA-fine-tuned Transformer to model complex dependencies in the residual data. This approach is theoretically supported by an oracle inequality for SPA and generalization bounds for the Transformer stage, demonstrating a new state-of-the-art performance with an average MASE improvement of 6.56% on various benchmarks.
