Researchers have introduced InstructTime++, a novel framework for time series classification that reframes the task as a multimodal generative process. This approach treats numerical sequences, textual context, and instructions as inputs, generating class labels as textual outputs via language models. To enhance cross-modal alignment, InstructTime++ incorporates a discretization module for temporal tokens, an alignment projection layer, and a generative self-supervised pre-training strategy. The enhanced version, InstructTime++, further integrates implicit feature modeling by mining statistical patterns and using vision-language models for textual descriptions, leading to superior performance on benchmark datasets.
