- Abstract: In recent developments, predictive models for multivariate time series
analysis have exhibited commendable performance through the adoption of the
prevalent principle of channel independence. Nevertheless, it is imperative to
acknowledge the intricate interplay among channels, which fundamentally
influences the outcomes of multivariate predictions. Consequently, the notion
of channel independence, while offering utility to a certain extent, becomes
increasingly impractical, leading to information degradation. In response to
this pressing concern, we present CSformer, an innovative framework
characterized by a meticulously engineered two-stage self-attention mechanism.
This mechanism is purposefully designed to enable the segregated extraction of
sequence-specific and channel-specific information, while sharing parameters to
promote synergy and mutual reinforcement between sequences and channels.
Simultaneously, we introduce sequence adapters and channel adapters, ensuring
the model's ability to discern salient features across various dimensions.
Rigorous experimentation, spanning multiple real-world datasets, underscores
the robustness of our approach, consistently establishing its position at the
forefront of predictive performance across all datasets. This augmentation
substantially enhances the capacity for feature extraction inherent to
multivariate time series data, facilitating a more comprehensive exploitation
of the available information.

We show that models trained with the Channel Independent (CI) strategy outperform those trained with the Channel Dependent (CD) strategy.
Our results conclude that the CD approach has higher capacity but often lacks robustness to accurately predict distributionally drifted time series.
We propose a modified CD method called Predict Residuals with Regularization (PRReg) that can surpass the CI strategy.

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.
