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.

Training a global LSTM with multiple time series

In the previous recipe, we learned how to prepare datasets with multiple time series for supervised learning with a global forecasting model. In this recipe, we continue this topic and describe how to train a global LSTM neural network for forecasting.

Getting ready

We’ll continue with the same data module we used in the previous recipe:

N_LAGS = 7
HORIZON = 7
from gluonts.dataset.repository.datasets import get_dataset, dataset_names
dataset = get_dataset('nn5_daily_without_missing', regenerate=False)
datamodule = GlobalDataModule(data=dataset,
    n_lags=N_LAGS,
    horizon=HORIZON,
    batch_size=32,
    test_size=0.3)

Let’s see how to create an LSTM module to handle a data module with multiple time series.

How to do it…

We create a LightningModule class that contains the implementation of the LSTM. First...
