Mlinear: Rethink the Linear Model for Time-series Forecasting
Recently, significant advancements have been made in time-series forecasting research, with an increasing focus on analyzing the inherent characteristics of time-series data, rather than solely focusing on designing forecasting models.In this paper, we follow this trend and carefully examine previous work to propose an efficient time series forecasting model based on linear models. The model consists of two important core components: (1) the integration of different semantics brought by single-channel and multi-channel data for joint forecasting; (2) the use of a novel loss function that replaces the traditional MSE loss and MAE loss to achieve higher forecasting accuracy.On widely-used benchmark time series datasets, our model not only outperforms the current SOTA, but is also 10 × speedup and has fewer parameters than the latest SOTA model.
