Instance-Adaptive Prompts as Context for Time-Series Foundation Models

Zehao Xiao, Shifeng Xie, Lei Zan +5

Longer histories can improve time-series foundation models (TSFMs), but require substantially higher inference cost. We therefore ask whether contextual information can be provided…

Tabby: An Open Pretraining Recipe for Time Series Foundation Models

Shifeng Xie, Bahaeddine Abdessalem, Zehao Xiao +9

In this report, we release Tabby, a long context probabilistic time series foundation model, together with a complete and open recipe of how it was built. Tabby adopts an encoder-o…

Beyond Stationarity in Time Series: Discovering Causal Structures and Latent Regimes via Markov Blankets

Lei Zan, Charles K. Assaad, Emilie Devijver +1

This paper introduces Regime-aware Constraint-Based and Noise-Based causal discovery with Markov Blankets (RCBNB-MB), a novel causal discovery algorithm for time series that relaxe…

EvoCause: LLM-Guided Evolution of Causal Graphs for Root Cause Analysis

Lei Zan, Keli Zhang, Shifeng Xie +7

Modern telecommunication, cloud, and microservice systems emit correlated alarm cascades when components fail. Root cause analysis (RCA) aims to identify the small set of alarms th…

Post-Training in Time Series Foundation Models: A Unifying Framework

Shifeng Xie, Ambroise Odonnat, Zehao Xiao +7

Time series foundation models (TSFMs) have emerged as general-purpose models for time series analysis, but pretraining alone is often insufficient for reliable downstream deploymen…

On the Fly Detection of Root Causes from Observed Data with Application to IT Systems

Lei Zan, Charles K. Assaad, Emilie Devijver +2

This paper introduces a new structural causal model tailored for representing threshold-based IT systems and presents a new algorithm designed to rapidly detect root causes of anom…

Root Cause Identification for Collective Anomalies in Time Series given an Acyclic Summary Causal Graph with Loops

Charles K. Assaad, Imad Ez-zejjari, Lei Zan

This paper presents an approach for identifying the root causes of collective anomalies given observational time series and an acyclic summary causal graph which depicts an abstrac…
