• Abstract: We investigate the generative capabilities of the Schr\"odinger Bridge (SB) approach for time series. The SB framework formulates time series synthesis as an entropic optimal interpolation transport problem between a reference probability measure on path space and a target joint distribution. This results in a stochastic differential equation over a finite horizon that accurately captures the temporal dynamics of the target time series. While the SB approach has been largely explored in fields like image generation, there is a scarcity of studies for its application to time series. In this work, we bridge this gap by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the SB method's robustness and generative performance. We benchmark it against state-of-the-art (SOTA) time series generation methods across diverse datasets, assessing its strengths, limitations, and capacity to model complex temporal dependencies. Our results offer valuable insights into the SB framework's potential as a versatile and robust tool for time series generation.

  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.

• Towards Spatio-Temporal Aware Traffic Time Series Forecasting--Full Version [37.09531298150374]
  Traffic series forecasting is challenging due to complex time series patterns for the same time series patterns may vary across time, where, for example, there exist periods across a day showing stronger temporal correlations. Such-temporal models employ a shared parameter space irrespective of the time locations and the time periods and they assume that the temporal correlations are similar across locations and do not always hold across time which may not always be the case. We propose a framework that aims at turning ICD-temporal aware models to encode sub-temporal models.
