Frontiers of Foundation Models for Time Series in Science Applications<br>
<br>
<b>Abstract:</b><br>
Recent development in deep learning has spurred research advances in time series modeling and analysis. Practical applications of time series raise a series of new challenges in science applications, such as multi-resolution, multimodal, missing value, distributeness,
and interpretability. In this talk, I will discuss possible paths to foundation models for time series data and future directions for time series research.<br>
