Expert-Guided Forecast Editing for Time-Series Foundation Models

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.19659v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time-series foundation models can forecast across heterogeneous domains without task-specific training, but their forecasts are fixed once produced and cannot directly incorporate task-specific expert feedback. We study expert-guided forecast editing: a frozen foundation model generates candidate future trajectories, and an expensive expert evaluator scores them to guide forecast revision. Under a tight query budget, two natural strategies sit at opposite ends: best-of-$N$ purely exploits the foundation model's predictive distribution, while optimization approaches mostly explore the forecast horizon as an unstructured high-dimensional vector. Each extreme is individually sub-optimal. We introduce \textbf{DEFT}, an expert-guided forecast edit
