Researchers have developed a new framework that uses time-series retrieval to improve the accuracy of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) in predicting remaining useful life (RUL) for machinery. This approach involves retrieving historically similar degradation segments from a training dataset and presenting them alongside the test trajectory to the MLLM. Evaluations on the C-MAPSS benchmark demonstrated that this retrieval-based method consistently enhances RUL prediction accuracy and stability compared to baseline methods. The effectiveness of the retrieval mechanism was found to be dependent on the MLLM's capacity to leverage the retrieved information, suggesting that time-series retrieval is a promising technique for advancing prognostic reasoning in practical PHM settings.
