This paper proposes HiTime, a hierarchical multi-modal model that integrates temporal information into large language models (LLMs) for multivariate time series classification (MTSC). The model uses a hierarchical feature encoder to capture diverse aspects of time series data and a dual-view contrastive alignment module to bridge the gap between modalities. A hybrid prompting strategy is used to fine-tune the pre-trained LLM in a parameter-efficient manner. Experimental results on benchmark datasets demonstrate that HiTime achieves state-of-the-art classification performance through text generation, outperforming most competitive baseline methods.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
HiTime is a new way to use large language models for time series data. It’s like having two different ways of looking at the same information: one for numbers and one for words. The model uses special tricks to make sure it can understand both types of data, which helps it learn from both numbers and words together. This makes it better than other methods that only look at one type of data.
