abstract

Recent work in synthetic data generation in the time-series domain has focused on the use of Generative Adversarial Networks. We propose a novel architecture for synthetically generating time-series data with the use of Variational Auto-Encoders (VAEs). The proposed architecture has several distinct properties: interpretability, ability to encode domain knowledge, and reduced training times. We evaluate data generation quality by similarity and predictability against four multivariate datasets. We experiment with varying sizes of training data to measure the impact of data availability on generation quality for our VAE method as well as several state-of-the-art data generation methods. Our results on similarity tests show that the VAE approach is able to accurately represent the temporal attributes of the original data. On next-step prediction tasks using generated data, the proposed VAE architecture consistently meets or exceeds performance of state-of-the-art data generation methods. While noise reduction may cause the generated data to deviate from original data, we demonstrate the resulting de-noised data can significantly improve performance for next-step prediction using generated data. Finally, the proposed architecture can incorporate domain-specific time-patterns such as polynomial trends and seasonalities to provide interpretable outputs. Such interpretability can be highly advantageous in applications requiring transparency of model outputs or where users desire to inject prior knowledge of time-series patterns into the generative model.

SRT: Super-Resolution for Time Series via Disentangled Rectified Flow

cs.LG · 2026-05-29 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

SRT decomposes low-resolution time series into trend and seasonal components, aligns them via implicit neural representations, and uses cross-resolution attention within a disentangled rectified flow to generate high-resolution outputs, with a scaled SRT-large variant for zero-shot use.

SDFlow: Similarity-Driven Flow Matching for Time Series Generation

cs.AI · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

SDFlow learns a global transport map via similarity-driven flow matching in VQ latent space, using low-rank manifold decomposition and a categorical posterior to handle discreteness, yielding SOTA long-horizon performance and inference speedups.

Diffusion Models for Adaptive Sequential Data Generation

cs.LG · 2026-06-04 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Introduces a sequential forward-backward diffusion framework that generates adapted time series by conditioning on prior history, with a parallelizable score-matching objective and statistical guarantees for ReLU networks.

MSDformer: Multi-scale Discrete Transformer For Time Series Generation

cs.LG · 2025-05-20 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

MSDformer introduces a multi-scale discrete transformer that tokenizes time series at multiple scales and models them autoregressively in discrete space, claiming superior performance over prior DTM methods with rate-distortion theoretical support.
