Research Paper Overview
TimeOmni-1: Incentivizing Complex Reasoning with Time Series in Large Language Models
Summary
This paper introduces TSR-Suite, a comprehensive benchmark with four atomic tasks for time series reasoning, covering perception, extrapolation, and decision-making. It includes over 23K samples with 2.3K human-annotated data points. The authors present TimeOmni-1, a unified reasoning model trained with multi-stage optimization and novel rewards, achieving superior out-of-distribution generalization and improved accuracy in causality discovery and event-aware forecasting compared to GPT-4.1.
