New PV-Surgery method improves multivariate time-series forecasting

Researchers have developed a new training strategy called Per-Variable Surgery (PV-Surgery) to improve multivariate time-series forecasting. This method addresses the issue where aggregated gradients in standard training obscure conflicting variable contributions, finding that over 30% of pairwise cosine similarities are negative on average. PV-Surgery operates on the optimizer side, using variable-wise gradient proxies to align or pool gradients, leading to an average reduction of 3.61% in MSE and 2.93% in MAE across various datasets and backbones. AI

IMPACT This method could enhance the accuracy of predictive models in domains relying on multivariate time-series data.

    Not All Variables Agree: Reliability-Aware Variable-Wise Gradient Surgery for Multivariate Time-Series Forecasting

    arXiv:2609.08554v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In data-driven training, multivariate time-series forecasting is usually optimized with a scalar loss averaged over samples, variables, and horizons. This averaging is convenient, but the optimizer sees only the aggregated gradient,…
