• Abstract: Recently, denoising diffusion models have led to significant breakthroughs in the generation of images, audio and text. However, it is still an open question on how to adapt their strong modeling ability to model time series. In this paper, we propose TimeDiff, a non-autoregressive diffusion model that achieves high-quality time series prediction with the introduction of two novel conditioning mechanisms: future mixup and autoregressive initialization. Similar to teacher forcing, future mixup allows parts of the ground-truth future predictions for conditioning, while autoregressive initialization helps better initialize the model with basic time series patterns such as short-term trends. Extensive experiments are performed on nine real-world datasets. Results show that TimeDiff consistently outperforms existing time series diffusion models, and also achieves the best overall performance across a variety of the existing strong baselines (including transformers and FiLM).

  Time series forecasting is vital in numerous web applications, influencing critical decision-making across industries. We argue that diffusion models suffer from a significant drawback: indiscriminate noise addition to the original time series followed by denoising. We propose a novel flexible decoupled framework that learns high-quality time series representations for enhanced forecasting performance.

  Time series forecasting has been a widely explored task of great importance in many applications. It is common that real-world time series data are recorded in a short time period, which results in a big gap between the deep model and the limited and noisy time series. We propose to address the time series forecasting problem with generative modeling and propose a bidirectional variational auto-encoder equipped with diffusion, denoise, and disentanglement.
