Long Term Prediction

Long-term prediction aims to accurately forecast future states or events over extended time horizons, a challenge exacerbated by accumulating errors and complex system dynamics. Current research focuses on developing novel model architectures, including transformers, neural networks enhanced with filtering or attention mechanisms, and hybrid approaches combining deep learning with rule-based or physics-based models, to improve prediction accuracy and robustness. These advancements are crucial for various applications, such as weather forecasting, autonomous driving, financial modeling, and healthcare, where reliable long-term predictions are essential for informed decision-making and effective planning. The field is actively exploring methods to address issues like error accumulation, out-of-distribution generalization, and computational efficiency in long-horizon predictions.
