Time Series Forecasting with AI
Time series forecasting is a crucial task in machine learning, widely applicable in finance, manufacturing, healthcare, and natural sciences. Traditional methods like ARIMA and GARCH have been widely used, but recent advancements in deep learning have introduced more efficient and accurate models for time series forecasting.
Introducing TimesFM
TimesFM is a decoder-only model introduced by researchers from Google, designed for time series forecasting. It is based on pretraining a patched-decoder style attention model on a large time-series corpus comprising both real-world and synthetic datasets. This model has demonstrated impressive zero-shot forecasting performance and outperforms existing models in parameter size and pretraining data.
Practical Applications
TimesFM’s ability to outperform baselines across multiple datasets showcases the potential of large pre-trained models for time series forecasting. This provides a promising avenue for reducing training data and computational requirements in this field.
