• Abstract: Time series forecasting is a crucial task that predicts the future values of variables based on historical data. Time series forecasting techniques have been developing in parallel with the machine learning community, from early statistical learning methods to current deep learning methods. Although existing methods have made significant progress, they still suffer from two challenges. The mathematical theory of mainstream deep learning-based methods does not establish a clear relation between network sizes and fitting capabilities, and these methods often lack interpretability. To this end, we introduce the Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN) into time series forecasting research, which has better mathematical properties and interpretability. First, we propose the Reversible Mixture of KAN experts (RMoK) model, which is a KAN-based model for time series forecasting. RMoK uses a mixture-of-experts structure to assign variables to KAN experts. Then, we compare performance, integration, and speed between RMoK and various baselines on real-world datasets, and the experimental results show that RMoK achieves the best performance in most cases. And we find the relationship between temporal feature weights and data periodicity through visualization, which roughly explains RMoK's mechanism. Thus, we conclude that KAN and KAN-based models (RMoK) are effective in time series forecasting. Code is available at KAN4TSF: https://github.com/2448845600/KAN4TSF.

  "Context is Key" (CiK) is a time series forecasting benchmark that pairs numerical data with diverse types of carefully crafted textual context. We evaluate a range of approaches, including statistical models, time series foundation models, and LLM-based forecasters. Our experiments highlight the importance of incorporating contextual information, demonstrate surprising performance when using LLM-based forecasting models, and also reveal some of their critical shortcomings.

  Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN) is a groundbreaking model recently proposed by the MIT team. KAN is designed to detect concept drift within time series and can explain the nonlinear relationships between predictions and previous time steps. T-KAN is designed to detect concept drift within time series and can explain the nonlinear relationships between predictions and previous time steps. MT-KAN, on the other hand, improves predictive performance by effectively uncovering and leveraging the complex relationships among variables.

  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.

  In this work, we argue that shallow features suffice when combined with distribution distance measures. Our approach models each time series as a high dimensional empirical distribution of features, where each time-point constitutes a single sample. We show that by parameterizing each time series using cumulative Radon features, we are able to efficiently and effectively model the distribution of normal time series.
