Time Series Library (TSLib)

TSLib is an open-source library for deep learning researchers, especially for deep time series analysis.

We provide a neat code base to evaluate advanced deep time series models or develop your model, which covers five mainstream tasks: long- and short-term forecasting, imputation, anomaly detection, and classification.

:triangular_flag_on_post:News (2024.10) We have included [TimeXer], which defined a practical forecasting paradigm: Forecasting with Exogenous Variables. Considering both practicability and computation efficiency, we believe the new forecasting paradigm defined in TimeXer can be the "right" task for future research.

:triangular_flag_on_post:News (2024.10) Our lab has open-sourced [OpenLTM], which provides a distinct pretrain-finetuning paradigm compared to TSLib. If you are interested in Large Time Series Models, you may find this repository helpful.

:triangular_flag_on_post:News (2024.07) We wrote a comprehensive survey of [Deep Time Series Models] with a rigorous benchmark based on TSLib. In this paper, we summarized the design principles of current time series models supported by insightful experiments, hoping to be helpful to future research.

:triangular_flag_on_post:News (2024.04) Many thanks for the great work from frecklebars. The famous sequential model Mamba has been included in our library. See this file, where you need to install mamba_ssm with pip at first.

:triangular_flag_on_post:News (2024.03) Given the inconsistent look-back length of various papers, we split the long-term forecasting in the leaderboard into two categories: Look-Back-96 and Look-Back-Searching. We recommend researchers read TimeMixer, which includes both look-back length settings in experiments for scientific rigor.

:triangular_flag_on_post:News (2023.10) We add an implementation to iTransformer, which is the state-of-the-art model for long-term forecasting. The official code and complete scripts of iTransformer can be found here.

:triangular_flag_on_post:News (2023.09) We added a detailed tutorial for TimesNet and this library, which is quite friendly to beginners of deep time series analysis.

:triangular_flag_on_post:News (2023.02) We release the TSlib as a comprehensive benchmark and code base for time series models, which is extended from our previous GitHub repository Autoformer.

Usage

1. Install Python 3.8. For convenience, execute the following command.

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Prepare Data. You can obtain the well pre-processed datasets from [Google Drive] or [Baidu Drive], Then place the downloaded data in the folder./dataset. Here is a summary of supported datasets.

3. Train and evaluate model. We provide the experiment scripts for all benchmarks under the folder ./scripts/. You can reproduce the experiment results as the following examples:

# long-term forecast
bash ./scripts/long_term_forecast/ETT_script/TimesNet_ETTh1.sh
# short-term forecast
bash ./scripts/short_term_forecast/TimesNet_M4.sh
# imputation
bash ./scripts/imputation/ETT_script/TimesNet_ETTh1.sh
# anomaly detection
bash ./scripts/anomaly_detection/PSM/TimesNet.sh
# classification
bash ./scripts/classification/TimesNet.sh

4. Develop your own model.

• Add the model file to the folder ./models. You can follow the ./models/Transformer.py.
• Include the newly added model in the Exp_Basic.model_dict of ./exp/exp_basic.py.
• Create the corresponding scripts under the folder ./scripts.

Note:

(1) About classification: Since we include all five tasks in a unified code base, the accuracy of each subtask may fluctuate but the average performance can be reproduced (even a bit better). We have provided the reproduced checkpoints here.

(2) About anomaly detection: Some discussion about the adjustment strategy in anomaly detection can be found here. The key point is that the adjustment strategy corresponds to an event-level metric.
