Original description

This repository provides official implementation of ChatTS, along with the training datasets and checkpoints for *[VLDB’25] paper: ChatTS: Aligning Time Series with LLMs via Synthetic Data for Enhanced Understanding and Reasoning*. ChatTS is a Time Series Multimodal LLM (TS-MLLM) with question-answering capabilities that focuses on native understanding and reasoning over time series, just like vision/video/audio MLLMs.

See the Case Studies for more real-world applications and sample conversations.

Example application See figures/chat_example.png and the Case Studies section for real-world scenarios and conversation examples.
