• Abstract: In the domain of multivariate time series analysis, the concept of channel independence has been increasingly adopted, demonstrating excellent performance due to its ability to eliminate noise and the influence of irrelevant variables. However, such a concept often simplifies the complex interactions among channels, potentially leading to information loss. To address this challenge, we propose a strategy of channel independence followed by mixing. Based on this strategy, we introduce CSformer, a novel framework featuring a two-stage multiheaded self-attention mechanism. This mechanism is designed to extract and integrate both channel-specific and sequence-specific information. Distinctively, CSformer employs parameter sharing to enhance the cooperative effects between these two types of information. Moreover, our framework effectively incorporates sequence and channel adapters, significantly improving the model's ability to identify important information across various dimensions. Extensive experiments on several real-world datasets demonstrate that CSformer achieves state-of-the-art results in terms of overall performance.

  Real-world time series often show heterogeneous temporal patterns caused by distribution shifts over time. correlations among channels are complex and intertwined, making it hard to model the interactions among channels precisely and flexibly. We propose a general framework called DUET, which introduces dual clustering on the temporal and channel dimensions.

  Multi-channel speech enhancement models, in particular those based on the U-Net architecture, demonstrate promising performance and generalization potential. We propose a novel modification of these models by incorporating relative information from the outset, where each channel is processed in conjunction with a reference channel through stacking. This input strategy exploits comparative differences to adaptively fuse information between channels, thereby capturing crucial spatial information and enhancing the overall performance.
