This paper introduces Equilibrium State Estimation, a novel machine learning framework designed to perform simultaneous forecasting for multiple interacting systems in a single pass. By estimating an equilibrium state across these systems first, the method achieves linear-time complexity and delivers significant speedups over existing approaches while maintaining high accuracy on tasks like currency exchange modeling and disease spread prediction. The technique is particularly relevant for scaling predictive models where computational efficiency and robustness to perturbations are critical constraints.
Once-for-All: Scalable Simultaneous Forecasting via Equilibrium State Estimation
arXiv:2606.13285v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Equilibrium State Estimation (ESE), a novel paradigm for simultaneous prediction, where multiple interacting systems require separate yet coordinated forecasts. Such scenarios often arise in real-world settings such as economics and healthcare modeling. Unlike existing approaches that predict one system at a time, ESE forecasts all systems in a single pass. It first estimates the equilibrium state across systems, then generates holistic forecasts based on the difference between the current state and the estimated equilibrium. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets, including currency exchange and COVID-19 spread modeling, demonstrate that ESE is at least as accurate as state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods while being significantly faster. In addition, ESE integrates seamlessly with conventional predictors, combining their accuracy with its exceptional efficiency and delivering a 10-70x speedup. With linear-time complexity, ESE scales far better than SOTA methods as the number of systems increases. Moreover, it remains accurate under diverse perturbations, establishing ESE as a fast, generalizable, robust, and scalable multi-prediction method.
