In-Context Inpainting for Time Series Forecasting

arXiv cs.AIAugust 26, 2026en

arXiv:2608.23855v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose ICI-Time, a novel framework that reframes time series forecasting as a visual inpainting task, leveraging the generalisation power of large vision models (LVMs). Unlike methods that require specialised temporal architectures and extensive domain-specific training, ICI-Time transforms time series into structured visual representations (area charts) and applies visual in-context learning, reformulating forecasting as pattern completion within a grid-structured prompt that pre-trained vision transformers can solve without fine-tuning or architectural modification. Temporal dependencies are represented through spatial layout, with a cons
