In this paper, researchers introduce Text-Guided Time Series Forecasting (TGTSF), a novel approach to predicting future events based on both historical data and textual information. They propose TGForecaster, a model that combines these two types of data using cross-attention mechanisms, and evaluate its performance on four benchmark datasets.

This work is important because it can help us make more accurate predictions about things like stock prices or weather patterns by considering not just what has happened in the past, but also any relevant information from news articles or other sources. The researchers show that their approach outperforms traditional methods and could be used to improve many different types of time series forecasting.
