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.

Univariate Time Series Forecasting

In this chapter, we’ll develop deep learning models to tackle univariate time series forecasting problems. We’ll touch on several aspects of time series preprocessing, such as preparing a time series for supervised learning and dealing with conditions such as trend or seasonality.

We’ll cover different types of models, including simple baselines such as the naïve or historical mean method. We’ll provide a brief background on a popular forecasting technique, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA). Then, we’ll explain how to create a forecasting model using different types of deep learning methods. These include feedforward neural networks, long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent units (GRU), Stacked LSTM, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). You will also learn how to deal with common problems that arise in time series modeling; for example, how to deal with trend using first differences...
