DAN

We present DAN, the multivariate time series prediction model we detail in our paper, "Learning from Polar Representation: An Extreme-Adaptive Model for Long-Term Time Series Forecasting," which will be presented at AAAI 2024. If you make use of our code or data, please cite our paper.

Preliminaries

Experiments were executed in an Anaconda 3 environment with Python 3.8.8. The following will create an Anaconda environment and install the requisite packages for the project.

conda create -n DAN python=3.8.8
conda activate DAN
conda install pytorch==1.11.0 torchvision==0.12.0 torchaudio==0.11.0 -c pytorch
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Files organizations

Download the datasets from here and upzip the files in the data_provider directory. In the ./data_provider/datasets directory, there should now be 4 stream sensor (file names end with _S_fixed.csv) and 4 rain sensor (file names end with _R_fixed.csv) datasets.

Parameters setting

--stream_sensor: stream dataset file name. The file should be csv file.

--rain_sensor: rain dataset file name. The file should be csv file.

--train_volume: train set size.

--hidden_dim: hidden dim of lstm layers.

--cnn_dim: hidden dim of cnn layers.

--layer: number of layers.

--stack_types: model stacks specified for this sensor. It should be a stack of encoder, decoder and residue.

--r_shift: shift positions of rain hinter, set to 288 without any predicted rain value. Otherwise, set to 0~288 according to the length of known forecasted rain data.

--watershed: 1 if trained with rain info, else 0.

--model: model name, used to generate the pt file and predicted file names.

--mode: set it to 'train' or 'inference' with an existing pt_file.

--pt_file: if set, the model will be loaded from this pt file, otherwise check the file according to the assigned parameters.

--save: if save the predicted file of testset, set to 1, else 0.

--outf: default value is './output', the model will be saved in the train folder in this directory.

Refer to the annotations in run.py for other parameter settings. Default parameters for reproducing are set in the files (file names start with opt and end with .txt) under './models/'.

Training and Inferencing

Execute the Jupyter notebook experiments.ipynb to train models and conduct inferences on the test sets of the four stream datasets described in the associated paper.

The Jupyter notebook example.ipynb shows how to train a model via command line commands and use specific model functions to perform inference on the SFC sensor dataset.
