Researchers have introduced TIDES, a novel selective state space model (SSM) designed to effectively handle irregular time series data. Unlike existing models like Mamba, which learn a step size that deviates from physical time, TIDES maintains a step size equivalent to the physical time gap. This is achieved by shifting input dependence to the diagonal state matrix, allowing for native handling of irregular timestamps without sacrificing per-token expressivity. TIDES has demonstrated strong performance on benchmarks such as the Fading Flash experimental benchmark, the UEA time series classification, and the Physiome ODE regression, outperforming current state-of-the-art architectures on natively irregular datasets.
