Abstract

Time series analysis is essential for comprehending the complexities inherent in various real-world systems and applications. Although large language models (LLMs) have recently made significant strides, the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI) equipped with time series analysis capabilities remains in its nascent phase. Most existing time series models heavily rely on domain knowledge and extensive model tuning, predominantly focusing on prediction tasks. In this paper, we argue that current LLMs have the potential to revolutionize time series analysis, thereby promoting efficient decision-making and advancing towards a more universal form of time series analytical intelligence. Such advancement could unlock a wide range of possibilities, including modality switching and time series question answering. We encourage researchers and practitioners to recognize the potential of LLMs in advancing time series analysis and emphasize the need for trust in these related efforts. Furthermore, we detail the seamless integration of time series analysis with existing LLM technologies and outline promising avenues for future research.

时间序列分析对于理解各种现实世界系统和应用中固有的复杂性至关重要。虽然大型语言模型（LLMs）最近取得了长足进步，但具备时间序列分析能力的人工通用智能（AGI）的发展仍处于初级阶段。

大多数现有的时间序列模型严重依赖于领域知识和大量的模型调整，主要侧重于预测任务。

在本文中，我们认为目前的 LLM 有可能彻底改变时间序列分析，从而促进高效决策，并向更普遍的时间序列分析智能形式迈进。

这种进步会带来广泛的可能性，包括模式切换和时间序列问题解答。

我们鼓励研究人员和从业人员认识到 LLM 在推进时间序列分析方面的潜力，并强调需要信任这些相关工作。

此外，我们还详细介绍了时间序列分析与现有 LLM 技术的无缝集成，并概述了未来研究的前景。

什么是Position Paper

Position Paper一般是提出了关于某个问题的有争议的观点，目的是让听众相信你的观点是有效的并且值得倾听。在选择主题、展开论点和组织论文时，需要仔细审查你正在考虑的想法。
