New benchmark READ-Bench evaluates historical instance retrieval for time-series diagnosis

Researchers have introduced READ-Bench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate historical instance retrieval for time-series diagnosis. Unlike previous methods that indirectly assessed retrieval through prediction accuracy, READ-Bench directly measures the effectiveness of retrieving relevant historical cases based on shared fault or event types, even if the time-series data visually differs. The study found that while pretrained representations did not offer a significant advantage for search alone, a Gaussian-process reranker, utilizing a small amount of supervised data, proved to be the most decisive factor in improving retrieval accuracy.

    READ-Bench: Benchmarking Historical Instance Retrieval for Time-Series Diagnosis

    arXiv:2609.32123v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Time-series diagnostic systems rarely rely on retrieving relevant historical cases, and when they do, retrieval is evaluated only indirectly through downstream prediction. We introduce READ-Bench, a benchmark for historical-case…
