The Best of Time-Series Forecasting (Part I): From Seasonal Patterns to Transformer Models
Published:
From finance to healthcare, energy, and climate science, time-series forecasting is a cornerstone of critical decision-making:
- Finance: Accurate market predictions drive billion-dollar trades and risk management.
- Healthcare: Monitoring patient vitals helps detect early warning signs, enabling life-saving interventions.
- Energy: Power grid demand forecasting prevents blackouts and optimizes renewable energy integration.
- Climate Science: Weather and climate modeling help mitigate the impact of extreme events.
AI has already revolutionized many fields, outperforming humans in complex games, generating realistic images, and crafting coherent text. However, when it comes to time-series forecasting, AI still struggles to keep up.
In this blog, we’ll explore the evolution of time-series forecasting: ✔ From classic statistical methods like ARIMA and exponential smoothing, ✔ To deep learning breakthroughs with Transformers. ✔ To the non-attention methods that challenge the dominance of Transformers
We’ll dive into the latest research, uncover the biggest challenges, and explore future AI forecasting options. Because in a world that never stops moving, seeing what’s coming next is more valuable than ever.
