Updates/News:

🚩 News (Aug. 2024): Time-LLM has been adopted by XiMou Optimization Technology Co., Ltd. (XMO) for Solar, Wind, and Weather Forecasting.

🚩 News (May 2024): Time-LLM has been included in NeuralForecast. Special thanks to the contributor @JQGoh and @marcopeix!

🚩 News (March 2024): Time-LLM has been upgraded to serve as a general framework for repurposing a wide range of language models to time series forecasting. It now defaults to supporting Llama-7B and includes compatibility with two additional smaller PLMs (GPT-2 and BERT). Simply adjust --llm_model and --llm_dim to switch backbones.

Introduction

Time-LLM is a reprogramming framework to repurpose LLMs for general time series forecasting with the backbone language models kept intact. Notably, we show that time series analysis (e.g., forecasting) can be cast as yet another "language task" that can be effectively tackled by an off-the-shelf LLM.

Requirements

Use python 3.11 from MiniConda

To install all dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Datasets

You can access the well pre-processed datasets from [Google Drive], then place the downloaded contents under ./dataset

Quick Demos

  1. Download datasets and place them under ./dataset
  2. Tune the model. We provide five experiment scripts for demonstration purpose under the folder ./scripts. For example, you can evaluate on ETT datasets by:
bash ./scripts/TimeLLM_ETTh1.sh 

bash ./scripts/TimeLLM_ETTh2.sh 

bash ./scripts/TimeLLM_ETTm1.sh 

bash ./scripts/TimeLLM_ETTm2.sh

Detailed usage

Please refer to run_main.py, run_m4.py and run_pretrain.py for the detailed description of each hyperparameter.
