Real-world multivariate time series are inherently in flux: different variables evolve asynchronously and interact in complex, time-varying ways, yet accurate forecasting requires these dispersed signals to converge into a single unified prediction. This structural mismatch between dynamic, heteroge…
Developing a universal graph model capable of generalizing across diverse graph domains has consistently been a key objective in graph learning. Recently, many studies have focused on achieving in-context learning (ICL) on graphs, which can generalize to novel tasks without the need for fine-tuning,
Spatio-temporal forecasting is critical for real-world applications like traffic management, yet capturing complex interactions under high-noise conditions remains challenging. While current methods have shown improved accuracy using spatial physical priors, they often struggle with evolving tempora…
As large language models (LLMs) transition from research prototypes to real-world systems, customization has emerged as a central bottleneck. While text prompts can already customize LLM behavior, we argue that text-only prompting does not constitute a suitable control interface for scalable, stable…
