Deep Learning for Time Series Cookbook

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 forecasting with an LSTM

This recipe walks you through the process of building an LSTM neural network for forecasting with univariate time series.

Getting ready

As we saw in Chapter 2, LSTM networks, a variant of RNNs, have gained substantial attention for their performance on time series and sequence data. LSTM networks are particularly suited for this task because they can effectively capture long-term temporal dependencies in the input data due to their inherent memory cells.

This section will extend our univariate time series forecasting to LSTM networks using PyTorch. So, we continue with the objects created in the previous recipe (Univariate forecasting with a feedforward neural network).

How to do it…

We will use the same train and test sets from the previous section. For an LSTM, we must reshape the input data to 3D. As we explored in the previous chapter, the three dimensions of the input tensor to LSTMs represent the following aspects:
