TimeThink: Eliciting Compositional Reasoning in Timeseries Large Language Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.13457v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Timeseries multimodal large language models (TS-MLLMs) have recently begun leveraging the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) for question-answering tasks. However, these models often fail to capture dynamic temporal patterns, providing only implicit reasoning that lacks the underlying explanations critical for high-stakes applications like healthcare. While reinforcement learning (RL)-based timeseries language models aim to address this, they often fall short because they are trained on narrow, in-distribution data and struggl
