ICI-Time framework reframes time series forecasting as visual inpainting

Researchers have developed ICI-Time, a new framework that treats time series forecasting as a visual inpainting problem. This approach utilizes large vision models by converting time series data into area charts, which are then used for pattern completion tasks. Experiments across epidemiology, meteorology, and power systems show ICI-Time performs competitively with existing deep learning methods, particularly in scenarios with limited data. AI

IMPACT This research introduces a novel paradigm bridging temporal and visual domains, potentially offering new approaches for time series forecasting with large vision models.

    In-Context Inpainting for Time Series Forecasting

    We propose ICI-Time, a novel framework that reframes time series forecasting as a visual inpainting task, leveraging the generalisation power of large vision models (LVMs). Unlike methods that require specialised temporal architectures and extensive domain-specific training, ICI-…
