New research enhances Time-Series Foundation Models for forecasting

Four new research papers explore advancements in Time-Series Foundation Models (TSFMs), focusing on improving their forecasting capabilities. One paper introduces a method to evaluate TSFMs on sparse event data, finding that current models offer limited improvement over simpler references and suggesting the use of event supervision. Another paper proposes a loss-guided pretraining data selection framework to optimize the learning signal from large datasets. A third paper presents Latent Inference-Time Guidance, an adaptive ensembling approach for TSFMs that combines forecasts through a time-dependent latent space. The fourth paper introduces RACE, a framework for test-time adaptation that improves TSFM performance in neighbor-rich forecasting scenarios by aligning and aggregating evidence from related series. AI

IMPACT These advancements could lead to more accurate and efficient forecasting in various domains, from financial markets to resource management.

    When, Not How Much: Evaluating Time-Series Foundation Models on Sparse Events

    arXiv:2609.39386v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pretrained time-series foundation models (TSFMs) are evaluated as forecasters of future values, yet for sparse series many decisions depend only on which future periods contain activity. Standard benchmarks do not assess this. On fi…
