UnverifiedExpressing model capability gaps in terms of time lag is more easily understood and communicated than relying solely on benchmark scores.78% similarVerifiedThe closer an event is to the cutoff date, the smaller its share in the training corpus, and the less clearly the model has mastered it.77% similarUnverifiedVelocity scaling and shifting the model time backward are essentially two equivalent approaches to addressing the population time lag problem.76% similarUnverifiedThe population time lag phenomenon is especially pronounced when the number of steps (NFE) is small, stemming from a structural misalignment between discrete-step solving and continuous training.73% similarUnverifiedThe problem that point-in-time joins solve is data leakage: when constructing training samples, each record may only use feature values that were available at or before its corresponding timestamp73% similar
