Key Points

  • The paper addresses Online Time Series Forecasting (OTSF) by redefining concept drift into two types: Recurring Drift and Emergent Drift.
  • The proposed Dynamic Multi-period Experts (DynaME) framework uses a committee of experts to handle Recurring Drift by fitting historical periodic patterns dynamically.
  • For Emergent Drift, DynaME detects high uncertainty and leverages a stable general expert to cope with new patterns.
  • Experimental results on benchmark datasets show that DynaME significantly outperforms existing baseline models in adapting to both types of concept drift.
  • This approach represents a novel hybrid strategy that improves adaptability and accuracy in real-time time series forecasting applications.

Abstract:Online Time Series Forecasting (OTSF) requires models to continuously adapt to concept drift. However, existing methods often treat concept drift as a monolithic phenomenon. To address this limitation, we first redefine concept drift by categorizing it into two distinct types: Recurring Drift, where previously seen patterns reappear, and Emergent Drift, where entirely new patterns emerge. We then propose DynaME (Dynamic Multi-period Experts), a novel hybrid framework designed to effectively address this dual nature of drift. For Recurring Drift, DynaME employs a committee of specialized experts that are dynamically fitted to the most relevant historical periodic patterns at each time step. For Emergent Drift, the framework detects high-uncertainty scenarios and shifts reliance to a stable, general expert. Extensive experiments on several benchmark datasets and backbones demonstrate that DynaME effectively adapts to both concept drifts and significantly outperforms existing baselines.
