How Self‑Supervised HINTS Extracts Human Insights from Time Series to Boost Forecast Accuracy

The paper introduces HINTS, a two‑stage self‑supervised framework that leverages Friedkin‑Johnsen opinion dynamics to mine latent human‑driven factors from time‑series residuals, integrates them via attention into state‑of‑the‑art predictors, and demonstrates consistent accuracy gains and interpretability across nine benchmark and real‑world datasets.
