This paper introduces a novel approach to long-term forecasting that overcomes the limitations of existing methods. The proposed method employs contrastive learning and an enhanced decomposition architecture designed to focus on long-term variations. By incorporating global autocorrelation into the contrastive loss, the model can construct positive and negative pairs in a self-supervised manner. When combined with decomposition networks, the approach significantly improves long-term forecasting performance. Experimental results demonstrate that it outperforms 14 baseline models across nine long-term benchmarks, particularly in challenging scenarios requiring long output forecasts.

This paper makes it possible to predict what will happen in the future over a long time. Right now, most methods can’t do this well because they look at small parts of the data instead of the whole thing. The new approach uses two main ideas: contrastive learning and an enhanced decomposition architecture. This helps the model focus on big changes that happen over time. By using all of the data, not just a little part of it, the model can make much better predictions. This is especially important for forecasting things like weather or traffic patterns.
