Efficient Personalized Adaptation for Physiological Signal Foundation Model

摘要

Time series analysis is crucial across various fields like energy, environment, transportation, finance and health. Deep learning has significantly advanced this field, particularly, the Time Series Foundation Model (TSFM) excels in multiple domains due to extensive pre-training. In this work, we focus on TSFM's challenges in medical practice: limited computing resources and medical data privacy. TSFM variants include fine-tuned models and those pre-trained for rapid deployment on diverse data. There may not be enough computing resources to train physiological signals locally in hospitals, and generalized TSFM is still inferior to task-specific methods on private, imbalanced local data. To address this, we propose PhysioPFM, a framework for efficiently personalizing TSFM. Our approach involves low-rank pre-training on public datasets, generator training by trained LoRA weights, and efficient weight generation via local data. Experimental results demonstrate that integrating generated models with TSFM enhances performance, and transferability, and reduces the need for additional sensitive data training.
