LLM Pretraining Creates Generalizable Manifold for Time Series Forecasting

A new research paper explores how large language models (LLMs) pretrained on text can be effectively used for time-series forecasting. The study demonstrates that language pretraining equips transformers with a reusable manifold, enabling them to learn time-series dynamics without direct supervision. This pretraining not only improves the optimization process but also allows for low-dimensional alignment during fine-tuning, effectively projecting numerical dynamics onto task-relevant directions. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates LLMs can be adapted for time-series forecasting by leveraging pre-trained structures, potentially improving efficiency and accuracy in numerical dynamics prediction.

    LLM Pretraining Shapes a Generalizable Manifold: Insights into Cross-Modal Transfer to Time Series

    arXiv:2605.20449v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Can language-pretrained transformers become effective time-series forecasters, and why? In this paper, we show that cross-modal transfer arises because language pretraining preconditions time series training with a reusable manifo…
