• Abstract: Here, we propose a general method for probabilistic time series forecasting. We combine an autoregressive recurrent neural network to model temporal dynamics with Implicit Quantile Networks to learn a large class of distributions over a time-series target. When compared to other probabilistic neural forecasting models on real- and simulated data, our approach is favorable in terms of point-wise prediction accuracy as well as on estimating the underlying temporal distribution.

  Sequential models like recurrent neural networks and transformers have become standard for probabilistic time series forecasting. Recent work explores generative approaches using diffusion or flow-based models, extending to time series imputation and forecasting. This work proposes a novel method combining recurrent neural networks' efficiency with diffusion models' probabilistic modeling, based on interpolants and conditional generation with control features.

• Improving Uncertainty Calibration via Prior Augmented Data [56.88185136509654]
  Neural networks have proven successful at learning from complex data distributions by acting as universal function approximators. They are often overconfident in their predictions, which leads to inaccurate and miscalibrated probabilistic predictions. We propose a solution by seeking out regions of feature space where the model is unjustifiably overconfident, and conditionally raising the entropy of those predictions towards that of the prior distribution of the labels.

  We propose two approaches to constructing deep time series probabilistic models. The first is where the output layer of the ESN has disturbances and a shrinkage prior for additional regularization.
