PaP-NF: Probabilistic Long-Term Time Series Forecasting via Prefix-as-Prompt Reprogramming and Normalizing Flows
The article discusses a new probabilistic forecasting framework called PaP-NF, which is designed for long-term time series forecasting. This framework utilizes a Prefix-as-Prompt mechanism to align time series data with a large language model and employs a normalizing flow decoder to capture uncertainty. The authors demonstrate that PaP-NF effectively maintains competitive accuracy while robustly representing multi-modal uncertainty in predictions.
- ▪PaP-NF is a probabilistic forecasting framework for long-term time series data.
- ▪It uses a Prefix-as-Prompt mechanism to align data with a frozen large language model.
- ▪The framework captures multi-modal uncertainty while maintaining competitive point forecasting accuracy.

Most existing approaches rely on deterministic models. However, real-world environments exhibit inherently uncertain and complex future behaviors, making single-point predictions insufficient.
