The Continuous-time Squared Error (CSE) is proposed, which employs importance weighting to eliminate the influence of the timestamp sampling distributions and theoretically proves that CSE's asymptotic estimation error with respect to continuous-time risk is no greater than that of MSE.
Irregular time series forecasting is crucial in many domains, such as healthcare and meteorological observation. However, due to the inherent characteristics of irregular time series, including sparse observations and non-uniform sampling, accurately predicting future dynamics remains challenging. In light of these two characteristics, many existing methods aggregate irregular observations into fixed-dimensional estimated response coefficients through predefined basis functions and use these coefficients as sequence representations. Nevertheless, this modeling paradigm still suffers from two key limitations: (i) a potential non-vanishing asymptotic bias caused by ignoring the sampling density of timestamps; and (ii) the limited adaptability of predefined basis functions to diverse temporal patterns. In this study, we propose a Debiased Neural Basis-Function Network (DNBNet) to address these challenges. Its core is a debiased neural basis-function response mechanism, which corrects asymptotic bias through importance sampling while parameterizing basis functions with neural networks to adapt to diverse temporal patterns. In addition, considering the sparsity of irregular data, we design a novel multi-scale decomposition module based on average pooling, together with a mass-aware fusion mechanism, to obtain richer representations. Finally, a dual-branch decoder is employed for forecasting. Extensive experiments on multiple real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of DNBNet and its strong generalizability across diverse irregular time series scenarios.
