Researchers propose TimeCMA, an intuitive framework for Multivariate Time Series Forecasting (MTSF) via cross-modality alignment.TimeCMA combines large language models (LLMs) with time series data to achieve improved forecasting performance.The framework uses a dual-modality encoding approach to obtain disentangled time series embeddings and robust prompt embeddings.TimeCMA outperforms existing methods in MTSF according to extensive experiments on eight real datasets.
