针对时间序列结构差异导致的跨域泛化失效,提出分层校准新方法。
Rethinking Time Series Domain Generalization via Structure-Stratified Calibration
- 按系统结构差异分组样本,仅在同构组内进行幅度校准
- 在19个数据集上零样本测试显著优于基线方法
- 适合处理结构异质性明显的时间序列跨域任务
针对源自潜在动力系统的时序数据,现有跨域泛化方法通常假设样本在共享表示空间中具有可比性。然而真实场景中,不同数据集常来自结构异质的动力系统家族,导致特征分布本质不同。此时忽略结构差异进行全局对齐,极易建立虚假对应关系并引发负迁移。本文从跨域结构对应失败的新视角重新审视该问题,提出结构分层校准框架(SSCF)。该方法显式区分结构一致的样本,并仅在结构兼容的样本簇内执行幅度校准,有效缓解由结构不匹配引起的泛化失败。所提方法以简洁高效的校准策略,在19个公开数据集(共100.3k样本)上实现显著性能提升,尤其在零样本设置下表现突出。结果表明,先建立结构一致性再进行对齐,是提升潜动力系统驱动时序数据跨域泛化能力更可靠、有效的路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
For time series arising from latent dynamical systems, existing cross-domain generalization methods commonly assume that samples are comparably meaningful within a shared representation space. In real-world settings, however, different datasets often originate from structurally heterogeneous families of dynamical systems, leading to fundamentally distinct feature distributions. Under such circumstances, performing global alignment while neglecting structural differences is highly prone to establishing spurious correspondences and inducing negative transfer. From the new perspective of cross-domain structural correspondence failure, we revisit this problem and propose a structurally stratified calibration framework. This approach explicitly distinguishes structurally consistent samples and performs amplitude calibration exclusively within structurally compatible sample clusters, thereby effectively alleviating generalization failures caused by structural incompatibility. Notably, the proposed framework achieves substantial performance improvements through a concise and computationally efficient calibration strategy. Evaluations on 19 public datasets (100.3k samples) demonstrate that SSCF significantly outperforms strong baselines under the zero-shot setting. These results confirm that establishing structural consistency prior to alignment constitutes a more reliable and effective pathway for improving cross-domain generalization of time series governed by latent dynamical systems.
