Time Series Transformer Model
Time series transformer models leverage the power of transformer architectures to analyze and predict sequential data, addressing limitations of traditional methods in handling irregularly sampled data and long-range dependencies. Current research focuses on improving model interpretability, scaling to larger datasets and model sizes, adapting models across different domains, and optimizing them for resource-constrained environments through techniques like quantization-aware training. These advancements are significantly impacting fields like healthcare (e.g., disease trajectory prediction), and are enabling more accurate and efficient forecasting in various applications, from COVID-19 caseload prediction to energy consumption forecasting.
