Time Series Classification Foundation Models | TSC-FM
Compare time series classification foundation models with TSC-FM, a research benchmark spanning 220 univariate and multivariate datasets. The Standard leaderboard reports 17 complete model configurations and 3,740 configuration–dataset results. Explore the live rankings, model documentation and separate few-shot evaluations.
What this leaderboard compares
TSC-FM evaluates foundation models for time series classification on 140 univariate and 80 multivariate datasets using their default training/test splits. Standard and Low-shot results use separate label budgets; in-context prediction and frozen-probe evaluation describe how each configuration makes predictions. The live Top 5 below offers a quick view, while the full leaderboard provides accuracy, average rank, coverage, and evaluation settings.

Evaluation settings and approaches
Standard and Low-shot define label budgets. ICL and Frozen-Probe describe prediction approaches and can overlap with those settings.

Foundation models for time series classification
The complete Standard Overall comparison includes ChorusTIC, Mantis, MantisV2, MOMENT, UniShape, NuTime, TabICL and TabICLv2. TabICL and TabICLv2 are tabular foundation models evaluated on vectorized time series. Several backbones have multiple classifier heads, so a configuration and a backbone are different units of comparison.
Use the method pages to inspect papers, code, checkpoints and classifier settings. Low-shot results use separate eligible task pools; their coverage should not be inferred from the Standard dataset count.
Univariate and multivariate time series classification
Time series classification assigns a class label to an observed sequence. Univariate tasks contain one measurement channel; multivariate tasks contain several channels. TSC-FM reports these groups separately as well as together, so researchers can check whether an overall result also holds for their task type.
The dataset profile explains the composition of the benchmark. The capability map examines performance across task attributes using its documented comparison core. These views help turn an overall ranking into a more specific model-selection question.

Standard evaluation uses the full default training split. Low-shot evaluation uses five or ten labeled examples per class on the eligible dataset pool for each budget. These pools differ, so a change in their aggregate accuracy does not isolate the benefit of additional labels.
In-context learning (ICL) uses labeled support examples at prediction time. Frozen-probe evaluation keeps the pretrained backbone fixed and fits a classifier on its representations. These are prediction approaches; Standard and Low-shot describe the available label budget.

- Match the setting and scope. Select the label budget and the univariate, multivariate, or overall view relevant to your task.
- Read accuracy, average rank, and coverage together. Dataset-level accuracies receive equal weight. Check which datasets have results before drawing conclusions from an aggregate score.
- Inspect the complete model configuration. The prediction approach and classifier head can affect the comparison. The model catalog documents configurations and links to available papers, code, and checkpoints.
The live preview summarizes published results; it does not establish a universally best model. Consult the evaluation protocol and task-specific evidence before selecting a model for a new application.
