Deep Learning for Time Series Cookbook

By: Vitor Cerqueira, Luís Roque

Overview of this book

Most organizations exhibit a time-dependent structure in their processes, including fields such as finance. By leveraging time series analysis and forecasting, these organizations can make informed decisions and optimize their performance. Accurate forecasts help reduce uncertainty and enable better planning of operations. Unlike traditional approaches to forecasting, deep learning can process large amounts of data and help derive complex patterns. Despite its increasing relevance, getting the most out of deep learning requires significant technical expertise. This book guides you through applying deep learning to time series data with the help of easy-to-follow code recipes. You’ll cover time series problems, such as forecasting, anomaly detection, and classification. This deep learning book will also show you how to solve these problems using different deep neural network architectures, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) or transformers. As you progress, you’ll use PyTorch, a popular deep learning framework based on Python to build production-ready prediction solutions. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to solve different time series tasks with deep learning using the PyTorch ecosystem.

Technical requirements

Before starting, you will need to ensure that your system meets the following technical requirements:

  • Python 3.9: You can download Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/.
  • pip (23.3.1) or Anaconda: These are popular package managers for Python. pip comes with Python by default. Anaconda can be downloaded from https://www.anaconda.com/products/distribution.
  • torch (2.2.0): The main library we will be using for deep learning in this chapter.
  • CUDA (optional): If you have a CUDA-capable GPU on your machine, you can install a version of PyTorch that supports CUDA. This will enable computations on your GPU and can significantly speed up your deep learning experiments.

It’s worth noting that the code presented in this chapter is platform-independent and should run on any system with the preceding requirements satisfied.
