New OATS strategy enhances Time Series Foundation Models with dynamic data augmentation

Researchers have developed OATS, a novel online data augmentation strategy for Time Series Foundation Models (TSFMs). This method dynamically generates synthetic data tailored to specific training stages, using valuable training samples as guiding signals. OATS employs a diffusion-based framework for realistic time series generation and an explore-exploit mechanism to balance efficiency and effectiveness. Experiments show OATS significantly outperforms standard training and existing static data augmentation techniques across multiple datasets and TSFM architectures. AI

IMPACT Enhances the training of time series models, potentially improving performance in forecasting and anomaly detection tasks.

    OATS: Online Data Augmentation for Time Series Foundation Models

    arXiv:2601.19040v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Time Series Foundation Models (TSFMs) are a powerful paradigm for time series analysis and are often enhanced by synthetic data augmentation to improve the training data quality. Existing augmentation methods, however, typically…
