De la contraportada

"Time Series Forecasting Using Generative AI introduces readers to Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) in time series analysis, offering an essential exploration of cutting-edge forecasting methodologies."

The book covers a wide range of topics, starting with an overview of Generative AI, where readers gain insights into the history and fundamentals of Gen AI with a brief introduction to large language models. The subsequent chapter explains practical applications, guiding readers through the implementation of diverse neural network architectures for time series analysis such as Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLP), WaveNet, Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN), Bidirectional Temporal Convolutional Network (BiTCN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Deep AutoRegressive(DeepAR), and Neural Basis Expansion Analysis(NBEATS) using modern tools. 

Building on this foundation, the book introduces the power of Transformer architecture, exploring its variants such as Vanilla Transformers, Inverted Transformer (iTransformer), DLinear, NLinear, and Patch Time Series Transformer (PatchTST). Finally, The book delves into foundation models such as Time-LLM, Chronos, TimeGPT, Moirai, and TimesFM enabling readers to implement sophisticated forecasting models tailored to their specific needs.
