arXiv:2605.27286v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series foundation models (TSFMs) are transforming the forecasting paradigm through large-scale cross-domain pretraining. However, most existing TSFMs remain univariate, and recent efforts to enable cross-variate modeling still operate directly within the raw variate space. This design introduces fundamental limitations in semantic alignment and relational expressivity. Specifically, raw-space group mixing lacks a dedicated mechanism to align heterogeneous physical quantities, while standard non-negative attention fails to capture the complex
Ongoing advancements in AI research are continuously pushing the boundaries of foundation models into new domains, specifically multivariate time series analysis.
This development addresses key limitations in existing time series foundation models, potentially enabling more accurate and nuanced predictions in complex systems across various industries.
The ability to effectively align heterogeneous physical quantities and model complex relationships within multivariate time series moves beyond previous univariate or raw variate space limitations.
