Salesforce AI Research Introduces Moirai-MoE: A MoE Time Series Foundation Model that Achieves Token-Level Model Specialization Autonomously

Time series forecasting has long been integral to finance, healthcare, meteorology, and supply chain management. Its main objective is to predict future data points based on historical observations, which can be challenging due to the complex and varying nature of time series data. Recent advancements in machine learning, particularly foundation models, have transformed this domain by creating generalized models capable of handling various time series without specialized, case-specific training. These foundation models mark a significant shift from traditional approaches that required multiple models tailored to specific datasets. However, the diversity in time series characteristics, such as variations in frequency, seasonality, and underlying patterns, continues to present substantial challenges for unified model training.
