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.
