Feature-aligned N-BEATS

Official PyTorch Implementation of Feature-aligned N-BEATS with Sinkhorn divergence.

Data

Data should have form of data/$SUPERDOMAIN/$DOMAIN.csv, with three columns:

• time denotes the time index.
• series denotes the series index.
• value denotes the value of the time series at the given time index.

Source

Data used in the paper is obtained from the following sources:

• FRED
  • Commodities category
  • National Income & Product Accounts category
  • Interest Rates category
  • Exchange Rates category
• NCEI (Only 2020s data are used)
  • "TEMP", "STP", "WDSP", "PRCP" columns from Global Surface Summary of the Day - GSOD dataset
  • "TAVG", "AWND", "PRCP" columns from Global Summary of the Month (GSOM), Version 1.0.3 dataset
  • "TAVG", "AWND", "PRCP" columns from Global Summary of the Year (GSOY), Version 1 dataset
