• Abstract: Time series with missing or irregularly sampled data are a persistent challenge in machine learning. Many methods operate on the frequency-domain, relying on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) which assumes uniform sampling, therefore requiring prior interpolation that can distort the spectra. To address this limitation, we introduce a differentiable Lomb--Scargle layer that enables a reliable computation of the power spectrum of irregularly sampled data. We integrate this layer into a novel score-based diffusion model (LSCD) for time series imputation conditioned on the entire signal spectrum. Experiments on synthetic and real-world benchmarks demonstrate that our method recovers missing data more accurately than purely time-domain baselines, while simultaneously producing consistent frequency estimates. Crucially, our method can be easily integrated into learning frameworks, enabling broader adoption of spectral guidance in machine learning approaches involving incomplete or irregular data.

  Machine learning applications on signals such as computer vision or biomedical data often face challenges due to the variability that exists across hardware devices or session recordings. In this work, we propose Spatio-Temporal Monge Alignment (STMA) to mitigate these variabilities. We show that STMA leads to significant and consistent performance gains between datasets acquired with very different settings.

• Imputing Missing Observations with Time Sliced Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique [0.3973560285628012]
  We present a simple yet novel time series imputation technique with the goal of constructing an irregular time series that is uniform across every sample in a data set. We fix a grid defined by the midpoints of non-overlapping bins (dubbed "slices") of observation times and ensure that each sample has values for all of the features at that given time. This allows one to both impute fully missing observations to allow uniform time series classification across the entire data and, in special cases, to impute individually missing features.
