Pushing the Limits of Pre-training for Time Series Forecasting in the CloudOps Domain

Paper | Code

Datasets accompanying the paper "Pushing the Limits of Pre-training for Time Series Forecasting in the CloudOps Domain".

Quick Start

azure_vm_traces_2017

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset('Salesforce/cloudops_tsf', 'azure_vm_traces_2017')
print(dataset)

DatasetDict({
    train_test: Dataset({
        features: ['start', 'target', 'item_id', 'feat_static_cat', 'feat_static_real', 'past_feat_dynamic_real'],
        num_rows: 17568
    })
    pretrain: Dataset({
        features: ['start', 'target', 'item_id', 'feat_static_cat', 'feat_static_real', 'past_feat_dynamic_real'],
        num_rows: 159472
    })
})

borg_cluster_data_2011

dataset = load_dataset('Salesforce/cloudops_tsf', 'borg_cluster_data_2011')
print(dataset)

DatasetDict({
    train_test: Dataset({
        features: ['start', 'target', 'item_id', 'feat_static_cat', 'past_feat_dynamic_real'],
        num_rows: 11117
    })
    pretrain: Dataset({
        features: ['start', 'target', 'item_id', 'feat_static_cat', 'past_feat_dynamic_real'],
        num_rows: 143386
    })
})

alibaba_cluster_trace_2018

dataset = load_dataset('Salesforce/cloudops_tsf', 'alibaba_cluster_trace_2018')
print(dataset)

DatasetDict({
    train_test: Dataset({
        features: ['start', 'target', 'item_id', 'feat_static_cat', 'past_feat_dynamic_real'],
        num_rows: 6048
    })
    pretrain: Dataset({
        features: ['start', 'target', 'item_id', 'feat_static_cat', 'past_feat_dynamic_real'],
        num_rows: 58409
    })
})

Dataset Config

from datasets import load_dataset_builder

config = load_dataset_builder('Salesforce/cloudops_tsf', 'azure_vm_traces_2017').config
print(config)

CloudOpsTSFConfig(
    name='azure_vm_traces_2017',
    version=1.0.0,
    data_dir=None,
    data_files=None,
    description='',
    prediction_length=48,
    freq='5T',
    stride=48,
    univariate=True,
    multivariate=False,
    optional_fields=(
        'feat_static_cat',
        'feat_static_real',
        'past_feat_dynamic_real'
    ),
    rolling_evaluations=12,
    test_split_date=Period('2016-12-13 15:55', '5T'),
    _feat_static_cat_cardinalities={
        'pretrain': (
            ('vm_id', 177040),
            ('subscription_id', 5514),
            ('deployment_id', 15208),
            ('vm_category', 3)
        ),
        'train_test': (
            ('vm_id', 17568),
            ('subscription_id', 2713),
            ('deployment_id', 3255),
            ('vm_category', 3)
        )
    },
    target_dim=1,
    feat_static_real_dim=3,
    past_feat_dynamic_real_dim=2
)

test_split_date is provided to achieve the same train-test split as given in the paper. This is essentially the date/time of rolling_evaluations * prediction_length time steps before the last time step in the dataset. Note that the pre-training dataset includes the test region, and thus should also be filtered before usage.
