Causal‐Guided Ultra‐Long‐Term Time Series Forecasting Via Anticipated Covariates
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Often treated as unknown, information from the future remains underutilized.We demonstrate that in a coupled dynamical system, providing the future state of the effect enables accurate forecasting of the cause for a long timesteps. A time series forecasting paradigm that introduces anticipated covariates to represent such known future states is ...
