New framework improves time series forecasting explainability

Researchers have introduced Horizon-Resolved Attribution (HRA), a novel framework designed to improve the explainability of time series forecasting models. Unlike previous methods that provide a single importance vector, HRA generates distinct importance maps for each forecast step, acknowledging that different future predictions rely on different historical data points. This plug-in framework includes an estimator for extracting these maps, an evaluation protocol to validate the horizon axis, and a criterion to predict when resolving the horizon is beneficial. Experiments demonstrate that HRA enhances explanation accuracy across various forecasting models and datasets. AI

IMPACT Enhances the interpretability of time series models, potentially leading to more trustworthy AI applications in forecasting.

    Explaining Time Series Forecasting with Horizon-Resolved Attribution

    arXiv:2609.12639v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in explaining time series (TS) models have produced methods that identify which past values a prediction depends on. However, most existing methods return a single importance vector, assuming that every predicted ste…
