Time Series with PyTorch
By :
In the previous chapters, we discussed several models to deal with time series data. In this chapter, we take a step back and rethink time series forecasting from a high level and introduce a brand new and important topic: synthetic data for time series. We will introduce a new model called TimeVAE to generate new synthetic time series data.
To build a deep learning-based time series forecaster, we have four core components that work closely with each other. As shown in the simplified illustration in Figure 12.1, the first component is a time series dataset. Based on the dataset and the predetermined task, we come up with a proper forecasting model. The model is then trained with an optimization algorithm of choice using the time series dataset. Finally, we require a set of evaluation methods to justify the performance of our model.
