深度学习在时间序列预测中表现出强大潜力,但在真实环境监测中的部署仍受非平稳动态和可解释性不足的制约。本文研究了在持续学习框架下,通过经验回放策略提升自适应预测能力时,可解释性作为理解模型演化的重要工具。针对PatchMixer、PatchTST和DLinear等神经架构,引入基于注意力的采样机制以支持长期适应。利用注意力传播和梯度归因方法(Grad-CAM)分析模型预测行为及采样策略。在包含异构模式与状态跃迁的真实压力量测时间序列上的实验表明,分析模型与采样行为能有效揭示持续学习机制的动态特性。除了预测性能外,结果凸显了可解释性在理解持续学习行为中的挑战与机遇,揭示了归因模式随时间的变化规律,并为非平稳预测场景下的数据选择与适应策略提供指导。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Deep learning models have shown strong potential for time series forecasting, yet their deployment in real-world environmental monitoring remains challenging due to non-stationary dynamics and limited explainability. In this work, we investigate explainability as a central tool for understanding continual learning in adaptive time series forecasting, with Experience Replay strategies. We study neural forecasting architectures such as PatchMixer, PatchTST and DLinear, augmented with attention-based sampling mechanisms to support model adaptation over time. Explainability is leveraged through attention rollout and gradient-based attribution methods (Grad-CAM) to analyze both predictive behavior and sampling strategies within a continual learning framework. Experiments conducted on real-world piezometric time series exhibiting heterogeneous patterns and regime shifts show that analyzing model and sampling behaviors provides valuable insights into the dynamics of the continual learning framework. Beyond predictive performance, our results highlight the challenges and opportunities of using explainability to understand continual learning behaviors, revealing how attribution patterns evolve over time and how they can inform data selection and adaptation strategies in non-stationary forecasting scenarios.
