ZeroDiff: Zero-Shot Time Series Reconstruction via Informed-Prior Diffusion

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.37078v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series modeling increasingly demands high-quality supervision, yet target observations remain scarce - exogenous inputs are broadly available, but target measurements are often unavailable due to cost, infrastructure, or accessibility constraints. Can models trained on observed locations reconstruct target time series where measurements have never been collected? We term this zero-shot time series reconstruction. A naive approach - directly mapping exogenous inputs to targets - can yield predictions at unobserved locations, but without target signals, such models fail to capture the intrinsic dynamics of the target variable, producing overly smooth outputs that underestimate extremes. This reveals systematic errors that call for explicit
