ADAPTive Input Training for Many-to-One Pre-Training on Time-Series Classification
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recent work on time-series models has leveraged self-supervised training to learn meaningful features and patterns in order to improve performance on downstream tasks and generalize to unseen modalities. While these pretraining methods have shown great promise in one-to-many scenarios, where a model is pre-trained on one dataset and fine-tuned on a downstream dataset, they have struggled to generalize to new datasets when more datasets are added during pre-training. This is a fundamental challenge in building foundation models for time-series data, as it limits the ability to develop models that can learn from a large variety of diverse datasets available. To address this challenge, we present a new pre-training paradigm for time-series data called ADAPT, which can efficiently align the physical properties of data in the time-series domain, enabling mixed-batch pre-training despite the extreme discrepancies in the input sizes and channel dimensions of pre-training data. We trained on 162 time-series classification datasets and set new state-of-the-art performance for classification benchmarks. We successfully train a model within the time-series domain on a wide range of datasets simultaneously, which is a major building block for building generalist foundation models in time-series domains.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
