LightTS/Evidence
Method evidence record

LightTS

LightTS is a lightweight, MLP-based architecture for multivariate time-series forecasting introduced by Tianping Zhang and colleagues in 2022. Motivated by the observation that simpler models can match or surpass heavy Transformer-based architectures, LightTS applies an interval-sampling strategy to decompose long input sequences into multiple sub-sequences and processes each with compact Chunk-MLP and Continuous-MLP modules. The design prioritizes computational efficiency while preserving both local and global temporal patterns.
