GAUDI: Geometry-Aware Diffusion for Calibrated Air-Quality Time-Series Imputation
Air-quality sensor outages often create contiguous missing blocks, where side information useful for isolated missingness may be less reliable. We study a block-specific, GAUDI-aligned conditional diffusion imputer that retains temporal and feature processing, visible-value and mask conditioning, variable identity, and diffusion-step information, while suppressing absolute time-position side embeddings. On ItalyAir (13 variables, length-32 windows, nominal 50% block missingness; three archived seeds), this feature-side configuration achieves RMSE 0.340, versus 0.355 for full context and 0.355 for local CSDI. The experiment isolates a geometry-aware conditioning effect under block missingn...
