# TEMPO: Prompt-based Generative Pre-trained Transformer for Time Series Forecasting

The official code for ICLR 2024 paper: "TEMPO: Prompt-based Generative Pre-trained Transformer for Time Series Forecasting (ICLR 2024)".

TEMPO is one of the very first open source **Time Series Foundation Models** for forecasting task v1.0 version.

# Build the environment

```
conda create -n tempo python=3.8
```
```
conda activate tempo
```
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

# Get Data

   Download the data from [[Google Drive]](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13Cg1KYOlzM5C7K8gK8NfC-F3EYxkM3D2?usp=sharing) or [[Baidu Drive]](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1r3KhGd0Q9PJIUZdfEYoymg?pwd=i9iy), and place the downloaded data in the folder`./dataset`. You can also download the STL results from [[Google Drive]](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gWliIGDDSi2itUAvYaRgACru18j753Kw/view?usp=sharing), and place the downloaded data in the folder`./stl`.

# Run TEMPO

## Training Stage
```
bash [ecl, etth1, etth2, ettm1, ettm2, traffic, weather].sh
```

## Test

After training, we can test TEMPO model under the zero-shot setting:

```
bash [ecl, etth1, etth2, ettm1, ettm2, traffic, weather]_test.sh
```

# Pre-trained Models

You can download the pre-trained model from [[Google Drive]](https://drive.google.com/file/d/11Ho_seP9NGh-lQCyBkvQhAQFy_3XVwKp/view?usp=drive_link) and then run the test script for fun.

# Multi-modality dataset: TETS dataset

Here is the prompts use to generate the coresponding textual informaton of time series via [[OPENAI ChatGPT-3.5 API]](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-generation)

The time series data are come from [[S&P 500]](https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/equity/sp-500/#overview). Here is the EBITDA case for one company from the dataset:
