Rationales Before Results: Teaching Multimodal LLMs to Actually Reason About Time Series

A mechanism-first reading of RationaleTS, a method that improves multimodal time-series reasoning by retrieving reusable observation-to-implication rationales instead of merely showing models more charts.

When Prompts Learn Themselves: The Death of Task Cues

A mechanism-first reading of a simple automatic prompt-engineering method that turns a few examples into usable prompts without task cues, tuning data, or extra LLM scoring.
