arXiv:2606.14941v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series forecasting models often benefit from historical patterns. Inspired by Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), recent research explored retrieving relevant historical time series segments to enhance forecasting. However, relying solely on time series similarity is often insufficient for retrieval under non-stationarity. To address this, we propose a multimodal approach: a \textbf{S}emantics-\textbf{E}nhanced \textbf{R}etrieval-\textbf{A}ugmented Time Series \textbf{F}orecasting framework, SERAF. Unlike mainstream approaches that depend
The continuous evolution of AI, specifically advancements in Retrieval-Augmented Generation, now extends to address complex time series forecasting challenges, particularly under non-stationary conditions.
Improving time series forecasting with semantic understanding can significantly enhance predictive models across various industries, enabling more accurate operational planning and risk management.
Traditional time series models are augmented with semantic retrieval, moving beyond pure statistical similarity to incorporate contextual meaning for better predictive accuracy.
