Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a new method for processing time-series data in recurrent neural networks (RNNs), namely, time-series forecasting coding (TFC). We developed them based on the idea of predictive coding (PC). We consider multi-step ahead forecasting task with the following two schemes, that is, smallest-delay feedback TFC and synchronous (temporally matching) feedback TFC. The latter is a natural extension of conventional PC. In experimental results, we show that the smallest-delay TFC presents the highest performance, while synchronous TFC shows comparable or lower performance, and then a conventional RNN method indicates the lowest. This result suggests that the concept of PC is important even in time-series data processing, and that small delay is more important than synchronicity. This may have significant implications to the conceptual fundamentals of the PC and thus of the FEP.
