'Time is Money' : Deep Learning for Time Series Forecasting in Python

pganesh (~pganeshGapps)


Description:

Whenever we have to make a decision under uncertainty, we all make our own forecasts. Even if we are not thinking that we are forecasting, our choices will be decided by our anticipation of results of our actions. Delays and indecision are the main reasons of failure. As a result of realizing 'Time is Money', 'Time Series Forecasting' is being applied in dynamic decision making problems. Time Series Analysis & Forecasting has been used by a wide range of businesses from managerial decisions, stock market analysis, sales, policy research, weather forecasting to astronomy. Deep learning may not be the best solution for all time series forecasting problems, but for those problems where classical methods fail and machine learning methods require elaborate feature engineering, deep learning methods can be used with great success.

Deep learning methods can offer lots of promises for time series forecasting. For example, deep learning methods such as Multilayer Perceptrons, Convolutional Neural Networks, and LSTM networks can handle temporal structures like trends and seasonality automatically. Besides, these can be used for automatic learning of temporal dependence of challenging time series forecasting problems.
