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.
