Accurately modeling cross-variate dependencies remains a key challenge in multivariate time series forecasting, particularly in the presence of strong periodic patterns. Many existing approaches rely on attention-based mechanisms that incur quadratic complexity and scale poorly with increasing numbers of variates. Recent attention-free aggregation models address this issue through linear-complexity core-based interactions, but they do not explicitly leverage the global periodic structure present in the data. To overcome this limitation, we propose CARNet, a Cycle-Conditioned Core Aggregation and Redistribution framework that integrates global recurrent cycle information into efficient core based interaction modeling via Multihead Core Aggregation. Extensive experiments on multiple real-world multivariate forecasting benchmarks demonstrate that CARNet consistently outperforms strong transformer and non-attention baselines across diverse prediction horizons while preserving linear-complexity modeling of cross-variate dependencies.
Large-scale multivariate time series from heterogeneous IoT sensors demand accurate long-term forecasting for resource scheduling and predictive maintenance. While recent time series foundation models exhibit strong generalization, they rely on static parametric knowledge and lac…
Forecasting multiple time-series with high-dimensional covariates presents a core challenge: unifying common temporal patterns while retaining meaningful series-specific information. We introduce Hopformer (Homogeneity-Pursuit Transformer), a two-stage framework that addresses th…
The modeling of hydrometeorological time series with limited observations is a key challenge in the monitoring of hydro-systems and water resources, as well as for flood or drought risk assessment. Due to the high variability of the underlying processes and the sparsity of availa…
Faithful explanations of time-series classifiers should identify subsequences that are not only sufficient to preserve a black-box model's prediction, but also necessary for maintaining it. However, existing sufficiency-oriented methods can assign high importance to spurious subs…
In this work, we explore how the inference time of a Transformer Neural Network can be efficiently optimized with applications to real-time anomaly detection in financial time series. The financial time series are price series such as asset prices. Unfortunately, the data is ofte…
Volatility forecasting is dominated by persistence and measurement noise, leaving limited residual structure for nonlinear models to exploit. We introduce Susceptible Architectures (SUSA), a reservoir-design principle for volatility forecasting, and its two concrete implementatio…
