UniMamba: A Unified Spatial-Temporal Modeling Framework with State-Space and Attention Integration
arXiv:2604.16325v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multivariate time series forecasting is fundamental to numerous domains such as energy, finance, and environmental monitoring, where complex temporal dependencies and cross-variable interactions pose enduring challenges. Existing Transformer-based methods capture temporal correlations through attention mechanisms but suffer from quadratic computational cost, while state-space models like Mamba achieve efficient long-context modeling yet lack explicit temporal pattern recognition. Therefore we introduce UniMamba, a unified spatial-temporal for
