Awesome Deep Time-Series Representations
June 10, 2026 · View on GitHub
This repository is intended to help readers interested in learning universal representations of time series with deep learning.
Since the paper has been accepted by ACM Computing Surveys as the definitive version of record, we will update this repository regularly, in line with top-tier conference publication cycles, to keep it up to date through NeurIPS 2026. After that, if your paper is missing or you have other requests, please open an issue, submit a pull request, or contact patara.t@kaist.ac.kr
Next Batch: IJCAI 2025, ICDM 2025, ICDE 2025, CIKM 2025, KDD 2025, ICML 2025, NeurIPS 2025 → NeurIPS 2026.

Data-Centric Approaches
This group presents the methods that focus on finding a new way to enhance the usefulness of the training data at hand. These approaches prioritize engineering the data itself rather than focusing on model architecture and loss function design to capture the underlying patterns, trends, and relevant features within the time series. As in the figure, we categorize these data-centric approaches into two groups based on their objectives: improving data quality or increasing data quantity.
Neural Architectural Approaches
As neural architectures play a crucial role in the quality of representations, this group examines novel network architecture designs aimed at enhancing representation learning. These improvements (depicted in the figure) include, for example, better temporal modeling, handling missing values and irregularities, and extracting inter-variable dependencies in multivariate time series.
Learning-Focused Approaches
Studies in this category center on devising novel learning objective functions for the representation learning process, i.e., model (pre-)training. As in the figure, these studies can be classified into three groups based on the learning objectives: task-adaptive, non-contrasting, and contrasting losses.
