TimeBraid: Unifying Time Series and Language for Understanding and Forecasting
We present TimeBraid, a series of unified time-series and language models that align pretrained language models and pretrained time-series foundation models through interleaved global residual attention layers. Each model inherits knowledge, instruction following, and reasoning from one side, continuous-signal perception and zero-shot forecasting from the other, and fuses the two in a shared representation space where both modalities are understood and generated. We study the design choices that make such unified modeling work: where to align the two representation spaces, how to ground language in temporal structure, how to balance understanding with generation, and how to keep joint opt...
