🚩 News (2024.10): TimeMixer++ introduction in Chinese is now available！
🚩 News (2024.10): We have newly released TimerMixer++ as an upgraded version of TimeMixer. TimeMixer++ is a time series pattern machine that employs multi-scale and multi-resolution pattern extraction to achieve 🏆state-of-the-art across 8 diverse analytical tasks!
🚩 News (2024.07): TimeMixer has been included in NeuralForecast. Special thanks to the contributor @marcopeix and @JQGoh!
🚩 News (2024.07) TimeMixer has evolved into a large model supporting comprehensive time series analysis, including long-term forecasting, short-term forecasting, anomaly detection, imputation, and classification. In the future, we will further explore additional types of time series analysis tasks and strive to break through the limitations of current long-term forecasting to achieve efficient extreme-long-term time series forecasting.
🚩 News (2024.06) Introduction of TimeMixer in Chinese is available.
🚩 News (2024.05) TimeMixer has now released a 28-page full paper version on arXiv. Furthermore, we have provided a brief video to facilitate your understanding of our work.
🚩 News (2024.05) TimeMixer currently supports using future temporal features for prediction. This feature has been well-received by the community members. You can now decide whether to enable this feature by using the parameter use_future_temporal_feature.
🚩 News (2024.03) TimeMixer has been included in [Time-Series-Library] and achieve the consistent 🏆state-of-the-art in long-term time and short-term series forecasting.
🚩 News (2024.03) TimeMixer has added a time-series decomposition method based on DFT, as well as downsampling operation based on 1D convolution.
🚩 News (2024.02) TimeMixer has been accepted as ICLR 2024 Poster.
🏆 TimeMixer, as a fully MLP-based architecture, taking full advantage of disentangled multiscale time series, is proposed to achieve consistent SOTA performances in both long and short-term forecasting tasks with favorable run-time efficiency.
🌟Observation 1: History Extraction
Given that seasonal and trend components exhibit significantly different characteristics in time series, and different scales of the time series reflect different properties, with seasonal characteristics being more pronounced at a fine-grained micro scale and trend characteristics being more pronounced at a coarse macro scale, it is therefore necessary to decouple seasonal and trend components at different scales.
🌟Observation 2: Future Prediction
Integrating forecasts from different scales to obtain the final prediction results, different scales exhibit complementary predictive capabilities.
TimeMixer as a fully MLP-based architecture with Past-Decomposable-Mixing (PDM) and Future-Multipredictor-Mixing (FMM) blocks to take full advantage of disentangled multiscale series in both past extraction and future prediction phases.
we propose the Past-Decomposable-Mixing (PDM) block to mix the decomposed seasonal and trend components in multiple scales separately.
Empowered by seasonal and trend mixing, PDM progressively aggregates the detailed seasonal information from fine to coarse and dive into the macroscopic trend information with prior knowledge from coarser scales, eventually achieving the multiscale mixing in past information extraction.
Note that Future Multipredictor Mixing (FMM) is an ensemble of multiple predictors, where different predictors are based on past information from different scales, enabling FMM to integrate complementary forecasting capabilities of mixed multiscale series.
- Install requirements.
pip install -r requirements.txt - Download data. You can download the all datasets from Google Driver, Baidu Driver or Kaggle Datasets. All the datasets are well pre-processed and can be used easily.
- Train the model. We provide the experiment scripts of all benchmarks under the folder
./scripts. You can reproduce the experiment results by:
bash ./scripts/long_term_forecast/ETT_script/TimeMixer_ETTm1.sh
bash ./scripts/long_term_forecast/ECL_script/TimeMixer.sh
bash ./scripts/long_term_forecast/Traffic_script/TimeMixer.sh
bash ./scripts/long_term_forecast/Solar_script/TimeMixer.sh
bash ./scripts/long_term_forecast/Weather_script/TimeMixer.sh
bash ./scripts/short_term_forecast/M4/TimeMixer.sh
bash ./scripts/short_term_forecast/PEMS/TimeMixer.shWe conduct extensive experiments to evaluate the performance and efficiency of TimeMixer, covering long-term and short-term forecasting, including 18 real-world benchmarks and 15 baselines. 🏆 TimeMixer achieves consistent state-of-the-art performance in all benchmarks, covering a large variety of series with different frequencies, variate numbers and real-world scenarios.
To ensure model comparison fairness, experiments were performed with standardized parameters, aligning input lengths, batch sizes, and training epochs. Additionally, given that results in various studies often stem from hyperparameter optimization, we include outcomes from comprehensive parameter searches.
To verify the effectiveness of each component of TimeMixer, we provide detailed ablation study on every possible design in both Past-Decomposable-Mixing and Future-Multipredictor-Mixing blocks on all 18 experiment benchmarks （see our paper for full results 😊）.
We compare the running memory and time against the latest state-of-the-art models under the training phase, where TimeMixer consistently demonstrates favorable efficiency, in terms of both GPU memory and running time, for various series lengths (ranging from 192 to 3072), in addition to the consistent state-of-the-art perfor- mances for both long-term and short-term forecasting tasks. It is noteworthy that TimeMixer, as a deep model, demonstrates results close to those of full-linear models in terms of efficiency. This makes TimeMixer promising in a wide range of scenarios that require high model efficiency.
