  • 从人工解释中提取结构化因素,约束生成内容
  • 在金融和货运数据上接近人类专家解释质量
  • 无需领域微调,可大规模应用

时间序列预测广泛应用于决策关键领域,通常需伴随解释才能被采纳。当前解释多依赖人工,成本高昂;而直接使用大模型生成解释常出现幻觉。本文提出一个通用框架,通过三步实现可信自然语言解释:(i) 从历史分析师解释中提取结构化解释因子;(ii) 基于证据条件生成解释;(iii) 可扩展评估可读性、逻辑一致性和说服力。该设计强制生成内容基于可验证证据,减少无依据陈述。在纳斯达克-100指数金融预测和Vortexa货运定价数据集上的实验表明,生成解释在可读性、一致性和说服力上接近人工撰写水平。结果证明,无需领域微调即可实现大规模、可信的时间序列预测解释生成。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Time series forecasts are widely used in decision-critical domains, where they are rarely consumed without accompanying explanations. Producing such explanations is usually a manual and costly process, and attempts to automate it using large language models often suffer from hallucination when applied to temporal data. We propose a domain-agnostic framework for grounded natural language explanation generation for time series forecasts, illustrated in Figure 1. The framework consists of three components: (i) extraction of structured explanatory factors from historical analyst-written explanations, (ii) evidence-conditioned explanation generation, and (iii) scalable evaluation for readability, logical consistency, and persuasiveness. The design explicitly constrains generation to verifiable evidence, reducing unsupported claims. We evaluate the framework on a financial forecasting case study involving the NASDAQ-100 index and a freight pricing case study using data from Vortexa. Results show that generated explanations approached analyst-written explanations in terms of readability, consistency and persuasiveness. These findings demonstrate that grounded explanation generation for time series forecasting can be achieved at scale without domain-specific fine-tuning.
