Abstract
The probability prediction of multivariate time series is a notoriously challenging but practical task. This research proposes to condense high-dimensional multivariate time series forecasting into a problem of latent space time series generation, to improve the expressiveness of each timestamp and make forecasting more manageable. To solve the problem that the existing work is hard to extend to high-dimensional multivariate time series, we present a latent multivariate time series diffusion framework called Latent Diffusion Transformer (LDT), which consists of a symmetric statistics-aware autoencoder and a diffusion-based conditional generator, to implement this idea. Through careful design, the time series autoencoder can compress multivariate timestamp patterns into a concise latent representation by considering dynamic statistics. Then, the diffusion-based conditional generator is able to efficiently generate realistic multivariate timestamp values on a continuous latent space under a novel self-conditioning guidance which is modeled in a non-autoregressive way. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our model achieves state-of-the-art performance on many popular high-dimensional multivariate time series datasets.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
