A new research paper published on arXiv introduces a method to better evaluate generative models for multivariate time series data. The study highlights that standard evaluation techniques, which rely on pooled distributional metrics after marginal calibration, can mask significant differences between models. The researchers propose a held-out evaluation protocol, using ERA5 weather sequences as a test case, to reveal these discrepancies. Their findings suggest that current calibration methods may not accurately reflect a generator's performance and recommend using floor-referenced marginal evaluation, matched-pair testing, and dependence and sequence-level metrics for more robust assessments.
