## About
|
|
|
|
This repository provides model weights to run load forecasting models trained on ComStock datasets. The companion dataset repository is [this](https://huggingface.co/datasets/APPFL/Illinois_load_datasets). The model definitions are present in the `models` directory. The corresponding trained model weights are present in the `weights` directory. The corresponding model keyword arguments (as a function of a provided `lookback` and `lookahead`) can be imported from the file `model_kwargs.py`.
|
|
|
|
Note that `lookback` is denoted by `L` and `lookahead` by `T` in the weights directory. We provide weights for the following `(L,T)` pairs: `(512,4)`, `(512,48)`, and `(512,96)`, and for `HOM`ogenous and `HET`erogenous datasets.

## Packages
|
|
|
|
Executing the code only requires `numpy` and `torch` (PyTorch) packages. You can either have them in your Python base installation, or use a `conda` environment.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
In order to see how to use the model definitions and load the weights into them, see `example.py`.

## Technical Details for Running the Models
|
|
|
|
In input layout of the models are as follows:
|
|
|
|
- The `forward()` functions of `LSTM`, `LSTNet`, and `PatchTST` take in two arguments: `forward(input, future_time_idx)`. They are laid out as follows:
|
|
|
|
- `input` is a tensor of shape `(B,L,num_features)` where `B` is the batch size, `L` is the lookback duration, and `num_features` is 8 for our current application.
|
|
- `future_time_idx` is a tensor of shape `(B,T,2)` where `T` is the lookahead and 2 is the number of time index features.
|
|
- The time indices in `input` as well as `fut_time_idx` are both normalized.
|
|
- The custom `torch.utils.data.Dataset` class for the train, val, and test sets can be generated by executing the `get_data_and_generate_train_val_test_sets` function in the `custom_dataset.py` file in the [companion dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/APPFL/Illinois_load_datasets).
|
|
- Non-time features are normalized. The mean and standard deviation of the [companion dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/APPFL/Illinois_load_datasets) can be inferred by executing `example_dataset.py` there and looking at `Case 1` and `Case 4`.
|
|
- The output shape is `(B,1)` denoting the pointwise forecast `T` steps into the future.
|
|
- The `forward()` functions of `Transformer`, `Autoformer`, `Informer`, and `TimesNet` take in two arguments:` forward(input, future_time_idx)`. They are laid out as follows:
|
|
|
|
- `input` is a tensor of shape `(B,L,num_features)` where `B` is the batch size, `L` is the lookback duration, and `num_features` is 8 for our current application.
|
|
- `future_time_idx` is a tensor of shape `(B,T,2)` where `T` is the lookahead and 2 is the number of time index features.
|
|
- The time indices in `input` as well as `fut_time_idx` are un-normalized to allow for embedding.
|
|
- The custom `torch.utils.data.Dataset` class for the train, val, and test sets can be generated by executing the `get_data_and_generate_train_val_test_sets` function in the `custom_dataset.py` file in the [companion dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/APPFL/Illinois_load_datasets).
|
|
- Non-time features are normalized. The mean and standard deviation of the [companion dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/APPFL/Illinois_load_datasets) can be inferred by executing `example_dataset.py` there and looking at `Case 2` and `Case 5`.
|
|
- The output shape is `(B,1)` denoting the pointwise forecast `T` steps into the future.
|
|
- The `forward()` functions of `TimesFM` takes in one argument:` forward(input)`. It is laid out as follows:
|
|
|
|
- `input` is a tensor of shape `(B,L)` where `B` is the batch size and `L` is the lookback duration. Since it is univariate, there is only one feature.
|
|
- The sole feature is normalized. The mean and standard deviation of the [companion dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/APPFL/Illinois_load_datasets) can be inferred by executing `example_dataset.py` there and looking at `Case 3` and `Case 6`.
|
|
- The custom `torch.utils.data.Dataset` class for the train, val, and test sets can be generated by executing the `get_data_and_generate_train_val_test_sets` function in the `custom_dataset_univariate.py` file in the [companion dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/APPFL/Illinois_load_datasets).
|
|
- The output shape is `(B,T)` denoting the rolling horizon forecast `T` steps into the future.
