--- pretty_name: HEPA Corpus (open, license-clean time-series pretraining corpus) license: other license_name: mixed-open-per-source-see-provenance-table license_link: https://huggingface.co/datasets/Forgis/hepa-corpus/blob/main/license_audit_v1.md task_categories: - time-series-forecasting tags: - time-series - pretraining - foundation-model - event-forecasting - anomaly-detection size_categories: - 100K **Every byte in this repo passed a per-source redistribution audit** > ([`license_audit_v1.md`](license_audit_v1.md)). Sources that did not clear it are **absent > entirely** — not raw, not derived, not aggregated — and are listed below with the reason. ## Quickstart (streaming — no local download) ```python from datasets import load_dataset import numpy as np ds = load_dataset("Forgis/hepa-corpus", split="train", streaming=True) r = next(iter(ds)) x = np.asarray(r["values"], dtype=np.float32) # (C, T) raw, un-normalized print(r["series_id"], r["source"], x.shape, r["freq"], r["entity_id"]) ``` Filter without downloading — every selection is a **query over tags**, never a physical copy: ```python energy = ds.filter(lambda r: r["domain"] == "energy") long = ds.filter(lambda r: r["n_timesteps"] >= 2048) events = ds.filter(lambda r: r["has_event"]) ``` Or select shards up front from [`manifest.json`](manifest.json) and hand the URLs to your loader — that is the cheap path, because it skips the shards entirely rather than filtering their rows. One caveat worth knowing before you build a training loop: a sequential stream reads one shard at a time, but `ds.shuffle(buffer_size=N)` in streaming mode has to pull from many shards at once. On this corpus that is expensive — records here are whole multi-thousand-step series, so a measured `buffer_size=64` shuffle moved **3.0 GB** over the wire to yield 6 records, against 93 MB for a 10-record sequential read. Shuffle at the *shard* level from the manifest, and reserve the in-stream buffer for small values. --- ## 1. Format, and why Parquet rather than WebDataset Parquet shards under `data//{train,val}-NNNNN.parquet`, zstd-compressed, mean **146 MB** per shard (min 0.0 MB, max 352 MB). The plan allowed WebDataset `.tar` **or** Parquet. Parquet was chosen because: 1. **Zero-dependency streaming.** `datasets.load_dataset(..., streaming=True)` reads Parquet natively over HTTP range requests with no loader script; `webdataset` would be a new dependency for every consumer of the corpus. 2. **Column projection.** A dataloader that needs only `values` + `entity_id` never transfers the ~15 provenance/label columns. A `.tar` member is opaque — you pay for all of it or none. 3. **The tags stay queryable server-side.** The HF dataset viewer and its DuckDB endpoint index Parquet, so `source` / `domain` / `quality_tags` / `has_event` can be counted and filtered without downloading a byte. That is what makes §4's "splits are queries, not copies" real. Shards are **single-source and single-split** so that every manifest row describes a homogeneous unit, and the shard target is set from a per-source compression ratio that the build measures and feeds back (zstd runs 0.12x on USHCN's integer-valued daily climate and 0.83x on ERA5 reanalysis floats — a 7x spread, so a single fixed record count would miss the band badly). Stated plainly: **most shards here are below the 100 MB floor.** Two reasons, both structural. Many cleared sources hold less than 100 MB in total, so they cannot fill one shard. And the first shard of each source is sized against a deliberately pessimistic 0.7 ratio (so it can never blow past 500 MB), which undershoots for the highly compressible sources. The band is met where it matters: `weatherbench_daily`, which is **81%** of the corpus by bytes, shards at 301 MB (min 88, max 352). ### Per-record schema | field | type | meaning | |---|---|---| | `series_id` | string | `":"`, globally unique | | `source` | string | audited config name (row in the provenance table) | | `domain` | string | energy / climate / traffic / web / health / econ / retail / other | | `native_C` | int32 | number of channels **as shipped by the source** — no padding, no grouping | | `channel_names` | list[string] | the upstream column name of each channel, in order | | `values` | list[list[float32]] | **raw `(C, T)`** — un-patched, un-windowed, un-normalized | | `n_timesteps` | int32 | `T` | | `freq` | string | inferred sampling frequency (`15min`, `h`, `D`, `W`, `M`, `Q`, `Y`, …) | | `start_time_ms` | int64 | epoch-ms of `t=0`.

Records whose upstream index is not regular are tagged `irregular_timestamps`. --- ## 2. What is here, and what is deliberately not The audit covered the **51**-config real-world Chronos-2 subset (`autogluon/chronos_datasets` minus the synthetic `training_corpus_*` and the 14 `weatherbench_hourly_*` configs). **The published corpus and the corpus we pretrain on are different sets**, because *hosting on the Hub is redistribution and downloading under a source's own research-use terms is not*. Both gates are applied separately: | set | n | where it lives | |---|---|---| | audited real-world Chronos-2 subset | 51 | — | | − non-redistributable (6 `EXCLUDE` + 4 `LINK_ONLY`) | −10 | local pretraining only; **never** on the Hub | | − conditional, pending Zenodo re-sourcing (`m4_*`×6, `nn5`, `solar`) | −9 | local only; **deferred** from the Hub | | = license-cleared for redistribution | **32** | — | | − contributed zero usable records (every series shorter than 64 steps) | −4 | dropped at build time | | − cleared but not yet built | −0 | see the resume command in §8 | | **= published `Forgis/hepa-corpus` v1** | **28** | **this repo** | The **32** cleared configs are selected by the predicate `verdict == "INCLUDE" and redistributable is True and config not in DEFERRED_CONDITIONAL`, and **28** of them actually contributed data. The ones that did not: | source | domain | why it contributed nothing | |---|---|---| | `monash_car_parts` | retail | every series is shorter than 64 steps | | `monash_m1_yearly` | other | every series is shorter than 64 steps | | `monash_m3_yearly` | other | every series is shorter than 64 steps | | `monash_tourism_yearly` | econ | every series is shorter than 64 steps | These are low-frequency economic and demographic series — a 20-point yearly index cannot form even two `P=16` patches, and this repo's existing corpus loader already uses a stricter `min_len=256`. They are dropped, not silently counted. The gate keys on the `redistributable` **boolean**, not on a text match for `"EXCLUDE"` — a text match would silently admit the four `LINK_ONLY` configs, which are equally non-redistributable. If you pretrain on this repo and compare against a HEPA number computed on the 51-config local corpus, **the corpora differ** and some of any gap is data, not method. In particular `monash_rideshare` — one of only three natively-multivariate configs in the report's set — is excluded here, so the published corpus is *less* natively-MV than the one the report used. ### Not redistributed (never uploaded, in any form) | source | verdict | domain | origin | why it is absent | |---|---|---|---|---| | `dominick` | EXCLUDE | retail | [origin](https://www.chicagobooth.edu/research/kilts/research-data/dominicks) | Kilts Center states 'These data are for academic research purposes only' with no redistribution grant; Monash's CC-BY-4.0 Zenodo re-deposit (10.5281/zenodo.4654802) cannot cure the upstream owner's restriction, so we do not re-host. | | `exchange_rate` | EXCLUDE | econ | [origin](https://github.com/laiguokun/multivariate-time-series-data/tree/master/exchange_rate) | The autogluon card claims MIT but the source repository has NO LICENSE file (GitHub license API returns 404) and its README names no upstream FX data provider; UNVERIFIED -> EXCLUDE. | | `m5` | EXCLUDE | retail | [origin](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/m5-forecasting-accuracy/rules) | Proprietary Walmart retail data released only under Kaggle competition rules; the rules page is JavaScript-gated and could not be retrieved, so no redistribution grant can be cited.

Shipping those bytes while citing Monash's CC-BY-4.0 would mean **the citation does not describe the artifact**, which is precisely the defect the audit exists to prevent. --- ## 3. Labels ### `has_classification` / `has_AD`: native only — and there are none Every source here is a forecasting corpus. None ships class labels or anomaly annotations, so both flags are `false` on **every** record. We did not synthesize either: there is no rule over these series whose ground truth is certain, and a plausible-looking guess in a public corpus is worse than an absent column. ### `has_event`: one deterministic rule, applied only where the event is physical `event_label_origin` is `added_by_us` wherever it is set — no source ships native event labels. The single rule used is: ``` p95_threshold_crossing_v1: y[t] = 1 iff max(values[event_channel, t:t+H]) > thr, where thr = P95(values[event_channel, :calib_end]) computed on the DISJOINT calibration region values[:, :calib_end], calib_end = floor(0.30*T), and labels are defined only for calib_end <= t <= T-H. Deterministic: no fitting, no heuristics, exactly reproducible from (event_threshold, event_horizon, event_calib_end, event_channel). ``` Reconstruct labels exactly: ```python import numpy as np x = np.asarray(r["values"], np.float32)[r["event_channel"]] H, c = r["event_horizon"], r["event_calib_end"] seg = x[c:] w = np.lib.stride_tricks.sliding_window_view(seg, H)[: len(seg) - H] y = np.nanmax(w, axis=1) > r["event_threshold"] # labels for t = c .. T-H-1 assert y.sum() == r["n_event_positives"] ``` This is deterministic — no fitting, no tuning, no heuristic — and the calibration region `values[:, :calib_end]` is **disjoint** from every labelled timestep, so the threshold cannot leak the label. It is applied **only** where a P95 crossing is a recognised physical event, and only to records with `T ≥ 512` (below that a 30% calibration region is too small for a stable P95): | source | records labelled | event | |---|---|---| | `electricity_15min` | 370 / 370 | load spike (P95 15-min household demand exceedance) | | `ercot` | 8 / 8 | grid load spike (P95 zonal demand exceedance) | | `monash_australian_electricity` | 5 / 5 | grid load spike (P95 half-hourly demand exceedance) | | `monash_electricity_hourly` | 321 / 321 | load spike (P95 hourly client demand exceedance) | | `monash_kdd_cup_2018` | 268 / 270 | air-quality episode (P95 pollutant concentration exceedance) | | `monash_london_smart_meters` | 5,555 / 5,559 | load spike (P95 half-hourly household demand exceedance) | | `monash_pedestrian_counts` | 66 / 66 | crowd surge (P95 hourly pedestrian count exceedance) | | `monash_saugeenday` | 1 / 1 | high-flow / flood peak (P95 daily river flow exceedance) | | `monash_temperature_rain` | 422 / 422 | heat extreme (P95 daily mean-temperature exceedance) | | `monash_traffic` | 862 / 862 | congestion event (P95 hourly occupancy exceedance) | | `monash_weather` | 3,010 / 3,010 | per-variable, see below | | `ushcn_daily` | 1,216 / 1,218 | heavy-precipitation event (P95 daily PRCP exceedance) | | `weatherbench_daily` | 34,816 / 225,280 | per-variable, see below | | `weatherbench_weekly` | 34,816 / 225,280 | per-variable, see below | | `wiki_daily_100k` | 100,000 / 100,000 | traffic surge (P95 daily pageview exceedance) | | `wind_farms_hourly` | 328 / 328 | high-output wind event (P95 hourly farm power exceedance) | `weatherbench_*` and `monash_weather` each bundle several distinct physical fields under one config name, with the field in a `subset` column (exported as the `variable:` quality tag). For those, eligibility and wording are resolved per **variable**: | source | variable | event | |---|---|---| | `monash_weather` | `maxtemp` | heat extreme (P95 exceedance of daily maximum temperature) | | `monash_weather` | `mintemp` | warm-night extreme (P95 exceedance of daily minimum temperature) | | `monash_weather` | `rain` | heavy-precipitation event (P95 exceedance of daily rainfall) | | `monash_weather` | `solar` | high-insolation day (P95 exceedance of daily solar exposure) | | `weatherbench_daily` | `10m_u_component_of_wind` | high-wind event (P95 exceedance of 10m u-wind) | | `weatherbench_daily` | `10m_v_component_of_wind` | high-wind event (P95 exceedance of 10m v-wind) | | `weatherbench_daily` | `10m_wind_speed` | high-wind event (P95 exceedance of 10m wind speed) | | `weatherbench_daily` | `2m_temperature` | heat extreme (P95 exceedance of 2m temperature) | | `weatherbench_daily` | `temperature` | warm anomaly (P95 exceedance of air temperature) | | `weatherbench_daily` | `total_precipitation` | heavy-precipitation event (P95 exceedance of total precipitation) | | `weatherbench_weekly` | `10m_u_component_of_wind` | high-wind event (P95 exceedance of 10m u-wind) | | `weatherbench_weekly` | `10m_v_component_of_wind` | high-wind event (P95 exceedance of 10m v-wind) | | `weatherbench_weekly` | `10m_wind_speed` | high-wind event (P95 exceedance of 10m wind speed) | | `weatherbench_weekly` | `2m_temperature` | heat extreme (P95 exceedance of 2m temperature) | | `weatherbench_weekly` | `temperature` | warm anomaly (P95 exceedance of air temperature) | | `weatherbench_weekly` | `total_precipitation` | heavy-precipitation event (P95 exceedance of total precipitation) | **Everything else gets `has_event=false`.** That deliberately includes the low-frequency economic and demographic series (`monash_m1_*`, `monash_m3_*`, `monash_tourism_*`, `monash_cif_2016`, `monash_car_parts`, `monash_hospital`, `monash_nn5_weekly`) — on a yearly or quarterly index a P95 crossing is trend, not an event — and the weatherbench fields not listed above (`geopotential`, `potential_vorticity`, pressure-level winds, `total_cloud_cover`, `toa_incident_solar_radiation`), where we could not assert certain ground truth. --- ## 4. Methodology ### Normalization — in the dataloader, never on disk Nothing here is normalized, and that is deliberate. Level and scale carry signal (exp-08 found that RevIN made a HEPA encoder **blind to per-window level** on energy events), so the choice of normalization is a modelling decision that must stay ablatable. Crop the raw `(C, T)` first, then normalize the crop in the worker. Same argument for **patch size and window length**: they are never baked in, so `P=16` and `T=2048` are choices a consumer makes, not constraints this corpus imposes. ### Pseudo-multivariate grouping — also downstream Records are stored at their **native** `C`. Most sources here are univariate (`native_C=1`); only `ushcn_daily` (5 channels) and `monash_temperature_rain` (78) are natively multivariate. The HEPA recipe groups `c_group=8` univariate series from the *same* source into a `(T, C=8)` sample, sampling with replacement where fewer than 8 are usable, with each source contributing equally per epoch (balanced sampling). That grouping is **not** materialised on disk: it is a sampler choice, it changes between corpus iterations, and freezing it would make `native_C` a lie. Group at load time, over records filtered from one `source`. ### De-duplication Within a source, series are unique by upstream id. Across sources, overlap is structural rather than incidental (e.g. `monash_electricity_hourly` and `electricity_15min` are different resamplings of the same UCI donation), so it is handled by **provenance, not by hashing**: the `source` field and the manifest let a consumer drop a whole lineage. Records that are constant, or have no finite values, or are shorter than 64 steps, are dropped at build time. Records that merely contain some NaNs are **kept and tagged** `has_nan` — missingness is signal, and masking it is the dataloader's decision, not ours. ### Splits are entity-disjoint, and are queries over the manifest `split_role` is assigned by `val iff sha1(entity_id)[:8] % 100 < 5` — a hash of the **entity**, never a random row or window split. All records of one physical entity (a USHCN station, a WeatherBench grid cell, a London household, a Wikipedia page) land on the same side, so a train/val pair never shares a device. `entity_id` is exported on every record so you can re-split by entity or by contiguous time blocks with a buffer gap without re-downloading anything. The 5% is global, not per-source, so a source with few entities can land **entirely** in `train` and have no `val-*` shard at all (`monash_kdd_cup_2018`, for instance, has 59 entities and drew zero). That is a property of an honest entity-level split at small `n`, not a bug — but if you need per-source validation, re-split on `entity_id` yourself rather than assuming every source is represented in `validation`. Because a shard is single-source and single-split, **iterations and splits are manifest queries**: ```python import json, urllib.request m = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen( "https://huggingface.co/datasets/Forgis/hepa-corpus/resolve/main/manifest.json")) v1_train = [s["shard"] for s in m["shards"] if s["split_role"] == "train" and "v1-chronos2" in s["corpus_versions"]] energy_events = [s["shard"] for s in m["shards"] if s["domain"] == "energy" and s["label_flags"]["has_event"]] ``` Adding corpus v2/v3 means appending shards with new `corpus_versions` tags — never re-sharding, never copying. ### OOD test set: held out entirely The six downstream event-forecasting evaluation datasets — **C-MAPSS FD001, C-MAPSS FD002, C-MAPSS FD003, ETTm1, GECCO, PSM** — contribute **zero series** to this corpus. None of them is a `chronos_datasets` config, and the build asserts every uploaded source name against the held-out set. Frozen-encoder transfer to those six is therefore genuinely zero-shot with respect to this corpus. --- ## 5.

The realised v1 is **13.8 GB**. That gap is not a shortfall of the pipeline — it is the size of the license-clean real-world Chronos-2 subset itself. The entire `autogluon/chronos_datasets` repo is ~895 GB, but 779 GB of that is `weatherbench_hourly_*` and 91 GB is synthetic `training_corpus_*`, both of which the report's own corpus definition excludes; the remaining real-world subset is ~25 GB before the licensing gate removes a further 19 configs. **Reaching 250–500 GB requires more sources (LOTSA, v2), not more of these** — the pipeline streams and scales, the data does not exist at that size under this corpus definition. --- ## 6.

We ship them because Monash is a citable, DataCite-registered scholarly deposit and the upstream material is public — but the chain of title is *weaker* than a direct grant from the originator, and you should know that before building on them. Four Monash configs have genuinely clean chains and carry no such flag: `monash_covid_deaths` (JHU CSSE is itself CC-BY-4.0), `monash_electricity_hourly` / `monash_electricity_weekly` (UCI CC-BY-4.0), `monash_london_smart_meters` (London Datastore CC-BY). Records from flagged sources carry the `weak_chain_of_title` quality tag, so you can exclude them with one filter. ### Required notice — Copernicus (`weatherbench_daily`, `weatherbench_weekly`) > Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service Information [2019]. Neither the European Commission nor ECMWF is responsible for any use that may be made of the Copernicus Information or Data it contains. Records from these sources carry the `copernicus_notice_required` tag. If you redistribute them onward, carry this notice. ### Attribution Attribute per source using the provenance table. `ushcn_daily` is US federal public domain (17 U.S.C. §105) but still asks for the Menne et al. (2009) citation. Monash-sourced configs should cite Godahewa et al. (2021). The upstream aggregation is [`autogluon/chronos_datasets`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/autogluon/chronos_datasets). ### Report a problem If you are a rights holder and believe something here should not be, open a discussion on this repo and we will remove it immediately, before adjudicating. --- ## 8.
