Self-supervised learning has garnered significant attention for its ability to learn meaningful representations. Recent advancements have introduced self-supervised methods for time series forecasting. However, these efforts have faced limitations due to two primary drawbacks. Firstly, these approaches often borrow techniques from vision and language domains without adequately addressing the unique temporal dependencies inherent in time series data. Secondly, time series often show that the distribution shifts over time, which makes accurate forecasting challenging. In response to these issues, we propose TempSSL, a self-supervised learning framework designed for time series forecasting. TempSSL divides the time series data into context (history data) and target (future data), employing two pre-training strategies: (1) Temporal Masked Modeling (TMM) designed to capture temporal dependencies by reconstructing future time series based on historical context; (2) Temporal Contrastive Learning (TCL) employs context and target as positive samples to enhance discriminative representations and mitigate distribution shifts within the time series. TempSSL's innovation lies in two key aspects. Firstly, it underscores the importance of temporal dependencies for time series forecasting by designing specific pre-training tasks. Secondly, it effectively integrates contrastive learning and masked modeling, leveraging their respective strengths to develop time series representation with strong instance discriminability and local perceptibility. Extensive experiments across seven widely used benchmark datasets demonstrate that TempSSL consistently outperforms existing self-supervised and end-to-end forecasting methods, achieving improvements ranging from 1.92% similar to 78.12%. Additionally, TempSSL's practical effectiveness is further demonstrated through successful application in natural gas demand forecasting.
