Prerequisites

cvxpy

Python 3.9

PyTorch 1.12.0

Torchvision 0.13.0

Data downloading:

Download the data following the guideline from Autoformer.

Modify the data path in dataset.py [line 27 ~ line 30].

Running different algorithms on Electricity dataset

Please note that, in addition to the experiments provided in the RobustTSF_SOTA_Methods folder, you can totally execute the experiments using CPU.

Vanilla training (MAE) with Missing anomaly (anomaly ratio 0.3):

python train_noisy.py --loss mae --dataset ele --ano_type missing --ano_ratio 0.3 

ano_type: {const, missing, gaussian}

dataset: {ele, traffic}

loss: {mae, mse}

Offline inputation with Missing anomaly (anomaly ratio 0.3):

First get a pre-trained model:

python train_noisy.py --loss mae --dataset ele --ano_type missing --ano_ratio 0.3 

Then using the pretrained model to perform offline detection-imputation-retraining

python train_noisy.py --impute model_impute --loss mae --dataset ele --ano_type missing --ano_ratio 0.3 

Onine inputation with Missing anomaly (anomaly ratio 0.3):

First get a pre-trained model:

python train_noisy.py --loss mae --dataset ele --ano_type missing --ano_ratio 0.3 

Then using the pretrained model to perform online detection-imputation-retraining

python train_noisy_online.py --loss mae --dataset ele --ano_type missing --ano_ratio 0.3 

Loss-based selection with Missing anomaly (anomaly ratio 0.3):

python train_noisy_mv_selection.py --loss mae --dataset ele --ano_type missing --ano_ratio 0.3 

RobustTSF (ours) with Missing anomaly (anomaly ratio 0.3):

python train_noisy_weighting.py --loss mae --dataset ele --ano_type missing --ano_ratio 0.3 

RobustTSF with SOTA architectures

In RobustTSF_SOTA_Methods folder, we incorporate RobustTSF with current SOTA transformer architectures.
