Abstract:
\nTime series f orecasting is essential across domains such as healthcare\, energy\, and c limate modeling. While models like LSTMs\, GRUs\, Transformers\, and State -Space Models (SSMs) have become widely used\, selecting the optimal archi tecture remains unclear. We propose an automated framework that systematic ally designs hybrid architectures by combining LSTM\, GRU\, attention\, an d SSM modules. Our approach uses multi-objective optimization to explore c ombinations and orderings of blocks\, yielding Pareto-optimal architecture s that balance user-defined trade-offs among objectives. A preference func tion selects the most suitable model for a given application. Moreover\, t wo sampling-based iterative procedures for Pareto-front exploration are in troduced\, which reduces the total training cost by nearly eightfold. Acro ss four real-world benchmarks\, our framework reveals that simple models e xcel in speed\, while hybrid compositions dominate when balancing accuracy and complexity. Our findings challenge the notion of a universally superi or neural architecture\, emphasizing instead the value of data- and object ive-driven design in time series forecasting.
