The paper argues that forecasting benchmarks miss context that numerical histories can't capture, such as interventions, disruptions, and reporting changes. It introduces a semi-automated pipeline that uses LLM agents, web search, and human review to link real-world events to specific time series, producing a dataset of 31 datasets, 1,159 events, and about 56,800 event-series links. For ML readers, the key questions are whether the event links are accurate enough to train on and whether the reported accuracy gains from event context hold up across models and domains.
World2TS: Real-World Event Context for Time-Series Forecasting
arXiv:2610.14861v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time-series forecasting plays a vital role in a wide range of real-world applications. Recent approaches have achieved strong performance by modeling temporal correlations and cross-channel dependencies, yet most forecasting benchmarks still represent time series primarily as numerical histories. In practice, time series are observations of complex real-world processes, and their trajectories may reflect events, interventions, disruptions, and changes in measurement or reporting that cannot always be inferred from past values alone. A central barrier to studying context-aware forecasting is therefore the lack of large-scale datasets that align real-world events with the individual series they affect. We present World2TS, a scalable construction framework and large-scale dataset for time-series forecasting with real-world event context. We first develop world2ts-core, a reusable tool that combines agent-led semantic reasoning and Web search, command-line execution and validation, and human review within a feedback-driven discovery workflow. Given heterogeneous time series with semantic descriptions, the workflow discovers candidate events, consolidates retrieved evidence into verified events, and links them to relevant series under explicit temporal and semantic scopes. Using this framework, we construct world2ts-data, which contains 31 datasets across six domains, comprising 4,179 series, 97.1 million observations, 1,159 events, and 56,846 event-series links. We further conduct extensive data analyses and controlled comparative experiments to characterize the dataset and demonstrate the utility of the collected context for improving forecasting accuracy. World2TS provides a reusable data foundation for developing and evaluating context-aware forecasting models and agents. The project homepage is available at https://world2ts.github.io/.
