A dual-path architecture is designed to simultaneously achieve efficient extrapolation of dominant linear trends and capture complex nonlinear dynamics. A masked channel dependency strategy and a lightweight linear encoder are used to adaptively fusion and filter inter-variable dependencies and deeply extract intra-channel features, respectively. The proposed time series forecasting model significantly solves the problem of insufficient nonlinear expressive power of traditional linear models and enhances noise resistance and computational efficiency in high-dimensional multivariate scenarios, comprehensively improving the prediction accuracy and robustness of the model in multivariate time series forecasting tasks.
