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.

Anomaly detection using an LSTM AE

In this recipe, we’ll build an AE to detect anomalies in time series. An AE is a type of neural network (NN) that tries to reconstruct the input data. The motivation to use this kind of model for anomaly detection is that the reconstruction process of anomalous data is more difficult than that of typical observations.

Getting ready

We’ll continue with the New York City taxi time series in this recipe. In terms of framework, we’ll show how to build an AE using PyTorch Lightning. This means that we’ll build a data module to handle the data preprocessing and another module for handling the training and inference of the NN.

How to do it…

This recipe is split into three parts. First, we build the data module based on PyTorch. Then, we create an AE module. Finally, we combine the two parts to build an anomaly detection system:

  1. Let’s start by building the data module. We create a class called...
