The paper presents TSI-Bench, a comprehensive benchmark suite for time series imputation using deep learning techniques. The authors highlight the lack of standardized platforms for evaluating imputation performance and explore whether deep learning forecasting algorithms can be transferred to imputation tasks. They develop a pipeline that standardizes experimental settings, enabling fair evaluation and identifying insights into model performance influenced by domain-specific missing rates and patterns. The study includes 34,804 experiments across 28 algorithms, 8 datasets, and diverse missingness scenarios, demonstrating the effectiveness of TSI-Bench in various downstream tasks and unlocking future directions in time series imputation research.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
Time series analysis relies on effective imputation to preprocess data. A new benchmark platform called TSI-Bench helps researchers compare different imputation algorithms. The authors also look into whether forecasting models can be used for imputation. They designed a way to standardize experiments and test many different approaches. This study shows that TSI-Bench works well in various situations and opens up new possibilities for time series analysis.
