Time-series data presents limitations stemming from data quality issues, bias and vulnerabilities, and generalization problem. Integrating universal data synthesis methods holds promise in improving generalization. However, current methods cannot guarantee that the generator’s output covers all unseen real data. In this paper, we introduce InfoBoost — a highly versatile cross-domain data synthesizing framework with time series representation learning capability. We have developed a method based on synthetic data that enables model training without the need for real data, surpassing the performance of models trained with real data. Additionally, we have trained a universal feature extractor based on our synthetic data that is applicable to all time-series data. Our approach overcomes interference from multiple sources rhythmic signal, noise interference, and long-period features that exceed sampling window capabilities. Through experiments, our non-deep-learning synthetic data enables models to achieve superior reconstruction performance and universal explicit representation extraction without the need for real data.

Time-series data can be incredibly valuable in understanding and predicting trends, but it also comes with its fair share of limitations. These limitations stem from data quality issues, bias and vulnerabilities, and the problem of generalization. However, by integrating universal data synthesis methods, we may be able to improve the generalization of time-series data.
While current methods show promise, they cannot guarantee that the generator’s output covers all unseen real data. This is where InfoBoost comes in. InfoBoost is a highly versatile cross-domain data synthesizing framework with time series representation learning capability. Through our research, we have developed a method that utilizes synthetic data to enable model training without the need for real data. Surprisingly, models trained with our synthetic data outperform those trained with real data.
In addition to training models without real data, we have also trained a universal feature extractor based on our synthetic data. This feature extractor is applicable to all time-series data, regardless of its origin or domain. By extracting universal features from the synthetic data, we are able to overcome interference from multiple sources such as rhythmic signals, noise interference, and long-period features that exceed sampling window capabilities. This allows for more accurate analysis and prediction.
Through experiments, we have found that our non-deep-learning synthetic data enables models to achieve superior reconstruction performance. This means that even without real data, our models are able to reconstruct time-series data more accurately than traditional models. Additionally, our synthetic data allows for universal explicit representation extraction. This means that we can extract meaningful features from any time-series data, regardless of its complexities or underlying patterns.
Overall, our research suggests that InfoBoost has the potential to revolutionize the way we work with time-series data. By utilizing synthetic data and a universal feature extractor, we can overcome many of the limitations and challenges associated with time-series analysis. Whether it’s predicting stock market trends, understanding climate patterns, or analyzing medical data, InfoBoost provides a powerful solution for extracting valuable insights from time-series data.
Time-series data analysis has become increasingly important in various fields, including finance, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. However, this type of data presents several challenges that can limit its usefulness. One major limitation is the presence of data quality issues, such as missing values or outliers, which can introduce biases and affect the accuracy of analysis. Additionally, there may be biases in the data collection process itself, leading to skewed or incomplete representations of the underlying phenomena.
Another challenge is the vulnerability of time-series data to external factors and contextual changes. For example, economic indicators may be influenced by political events or natural disasters, making it difficult to generalize findings beyond the specific context in which the data was collected. This problem is further exacerbated by the fact that current methods of synthesizing time-series data cannot guarantee that the generated data will cover all possible real-world scenarios.
In this paper, the authors propose InfoBoost, a cross-domain data synthesizing framework that addresses these limitations. The framework leverages synthetic data to train models without the need for real-world data. Surprisingly, the authors found that models trained with synthetic data outperformed those trained with real data in terms of performance. This finding suggests that synthetic data can provide a more accurate representation of the underlying patterns and dynamics in time-series data.
One key contribution of this work is the development of a universal feature extractor based on synthetic data. This feature extractor is capable of extracting relevant features from time-series data regardless of the specific domain or context. This is a significant advancement as it allows for the transferability of knowledge across different datasets and applications, reducing the need for domain-specific feature engineering.
Moreover, the authors demonstrate that their synthetic data approach overcomes challenges posed by multiple sources of interference in time-series data. This includes dealing with rhythmic signals, noise interference, and long-period features that may exceed the sampling window capabilities. By training models with their synthetic data, the authors were able to achieve superior reconstruction performance compared to models trained with real data.
Overall, this paper presents a promising approach to addressing the limitations of time-series data analysis. By leveraging synthetic data and developing a universal feature extractor, the authors have made significant strides in improving generalization and performance. However, future research should focus on validating the approach across a wider range of domains and datasets to ensure its applicability in various real-world scenarios. Additionally, further investigation is needed to understand the limitations and potential biases introduced by the synthetic data generation process.
