FreqLite: A Lightweight Frequency-Decomposed Linear Model with Adaptive Reversible Normalization for Robust Long-Term Time-Series Forecasting

arXiv:2606.01339v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term time-series forecasting needs models that are accurate yet efficient enough for commodity hardware. Lightweight linear forecasters are remarkably strong in this regime, yet they leave two openings: reversible instance normalization (RevIN) de-normalizes the entire horizon with a single lookback statistic, which is inaccurate under non-stationarity, and time-domain trend/seasonal decomposition relies on a fixed, non-adaptive filter. We present FreqLite, an ultra-lightweight, channel-independent frequency-decomposed linear forecaster: a
The continuous growth in demand for efficient, accurate long-term time-series forecasting, especially on commodity hardware, drives ongoing research into more lightweight and robust models.
Improved long-term time-series forecasting with lightweight models can significantly enhance operational efficiency, resource allocation, and predictive capabilities across various industries without requiring extensive computational resources.
The introduction of FreqLite, a more accurate and efficient linear forecaster with adaptive normalization and frequency decomposition, offers a practical advancement over existing methods for long-term forecasting.
