The proposed Coarsened Perceptron Network (CP-Net) aims to address the limitations of traditional multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) in long-term time series forecasting, where they struggle to balance expressive power and computational efficiency. By introducing a coarsening strategy that forms information granules instead of relying on point-wise mapping, CP-Net extracts semantic and contextual patterns while preserving correlations over larger timespans and filtering out volatile noises. The model’s two-stage framework and multi-scale setting enable it to maintain a linear computational complexity and low runtime while achieving an improvement of 4.1% compared to the state-of-the-art (SOTA) method on seven forecasting benchmarks.

The paper proposes a new deep learning model called Coarsened Perceptron Network (CP-Net) that can do long-term time series forecasting better. The old way of doing this, using multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), has problems because it doesn’t consider the bigger picture or filter out noisy information. CP-Net is different because it looks at patterns in a new way and uses a special technique to make predictions. This makes it faster and more accurate than other methods.
