Source-Free Domain Adaptation (SFDA) aims to adapt pre-trained models without accessing source data to preserve data privacy.
Existing SFDA methods struggle with multivariate time series (MTS) due to neglecting spatial correlations inherent in MTS data.
Temporal Restoration and Spatial Rewiring (TERSE) is proposed as a concise SFDA method tailored for MTS data, considering spatial correlations.
TERSE consists of a spatial-temporal feature encoder, temporal restoration, and spatial rewiring tasks to transfer dependencies across domains effectively.
