Autoformer

Overview

The Autoformer model was proposed in Autoformer: Decomposition Transformers with Auto-Correlation for Long-Term Series Forecasting by Haixu Wu, Jiehui Xu, Jianmin Wang, Mingsheng Long.

This model augments the Transformer as a deep decomposition architecture, which can progressively decompose the trend and seasonal components during the forecasting process.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Extending the forecasting time is a critical demand for real applications, such as extreme weather early warning and long-term energy consumption planning. This paper studies the long-term forecasting problem of time series. Prior Transformer-based models adopt various self-attention mechanisms to discover the long-range dependencies. However, intricate temporal patterns of the long-term future prohibit the model from finding reliable dependencies. Also, Transformers have to adopt the sparse versions of point-wise self-attentions for long series efficiency, resulting in the information utilization bottleneck. Going beyond Transformers, we design Autoformer as a novel decomposition architecture with an Auto-Correlation mechanism. We break with the pre-processing convention of series decomposition and renovate it as a basic inner block of deep models. This design empowers Autoformer with progressive decomposition capacities for complex time series. Further, inspired by the stochastic process theory, we design the Auto-Correlation mechanism based on the series periodicity, which conducts the dependencies discovery and representation aggregation at the sub-series level. Auto-Correlation outperforms self-attention in both efficiency and accuracy. In long-term forecasting, Autoformer yields state-of-the-art accuracy, with a 38% relative improvement on six benchmarks, covering five practical applications: energy, traffic, economics, weather and disease.

This model was contributed by elisim and kashif. The original code can be found here.

Parameters

  • past_values (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) — Past values of the time series, that serve as context in order to predict the future. These values may contain lags, i.e. additional values from the past which are added in order to serve as “extra context”. The past_values is what the Transformer encoder gets as input (with optional additional features, such as static_categorical_features, static_real_features, past_time_features).

    The sequence length here is equal to context_length + max(config.lags_sequence).

    Missing values need to be replaced with zeros.

  • past_time_features (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, num_features), optional) — Optional time features, which the model internally will add to past_values. These could be things like “month of year”, “day of the month”, etc. encoded as vectors (for instance as Fourier features). These could also be so-called “age” features, which basically help the model know “at which point in life” a time-series is. Age features have small values for distant past time steps and increase monotonically the more we approach the current time step.

    These features serve as the “positional encodings” of the inputs. So contrary to a model like BERT, where the position encodings are learned from scratch internally as parameters of the model, the Time Series Transformer requires to provide additional time features.

    The Autoformer only learns additional embeddings for static_categorical_features.

    • 0 for values that are missing (i.e. NaNs that were replaced by zeros).
  • static_categorical_features (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, number of static categorical features), optional) — Optional static categorical features for which the model will learn an embedding, which it will add to the values of the time series.

    A typical example of a static categorical feature is a time series ID.

  • static_real_features (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, number of static real features), optional) — Optional static real features which the model will add to the values of the time series.

    Static real features are features which have the same value for all time steps (static over time).

    A typical example of a static real feature is promotion information.

  • future_values (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, prediction_length)) — Future values of the time series, that serve as labels for the model. The future_values is what the Transformer needs to learn to output, given the past_values.

    See the demo notebook and code snippets for details.

    Missing values need to be replaced with zeros.

  • future_time_features (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, prediction_length, num_features), optional) — Optional time features, which the model internally will add to future_values. These could be things like “month of year”, “day of the month”, etc. encoded as vectors (for instance as Fourier features). These could also be so-called “age” features, which basically help the model know “at which point in life” a time-series is. Age features have small values for distant past time steps and increase monotonically the more we approach the current time step.

    • 1 for tokens that are not masked,
    • 0 for tokens that are masked.

    What are attention masks?

  • decoder_attention_mask (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, target_sequence_length), optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on certain token indices. By default, a causal mask will be used, to make sure the model can only look at previous inputs in order to predict the future.
  • head_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (encoder_layers, encoder_attention_heads), optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the attention modules in the encoder. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

    • 0 indicates the head is masked.
  • decoder_head_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (decoder_layers, decoder_attention_heads), optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the attention modules in the decoder. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

    Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used (see past_key_values input) to speed up sequential decoding.

    If past_key_values are used, the user can optionally input only the last decoder_input_ids (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape (batch_size, 1) instead of all decoder_input_ids of shape (batch_size, sequence_length).

  • inputs_embeds (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) — Optionally, instead of passing input_ids you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This is useful if you want more control over how to convert input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.
  • use_cache (bool, optional) — If set to True, past_key_values key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see past_key_values).

  • use_cache (bool, optional) — If set to True, past_key_values key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see past_key_values).
  • output_attentions (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See attentions under returned tensors for more detail.
  • output_hidden_states (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See hidden_states under returned tensors for more detail.
  • return_dict (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.

  • loc (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size,) or (batch_size, input_size), optional) — Shift values of each time series’ context window which is used to give the model inputs of the same magnitude and then used to shift back to the original magnitude.

  • scale (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size,) or (batch_size, input_size), optional) — Scaling values of each time series’ context window which is used to give the model inputs of the same magnitude and then used to rescale back to the original magnitude.

  • static_features (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, feature size), optional) — Static features of each time series’ in a batch which are copied to the covariates at inference time.

The AutoformerForPrediction forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

Examples:

>>> from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
>>> import torch
>>> from transformers import AutoformerForPrediction

>>> file = hf_hub_download(
...     repo_id="hf-internal-testing/tourism-monthly-batch", filename="train-batch.pt", repo_type="dataset"
... )
>>> batch = torch.load(file)

>>> model = AutoformerForPrediction.from_pretrained("huggingface/autoformer-tourism-monthly")

>>> # during training, one provides both past and future values
>>> # as well as possible additional features
>>> outputs = model(
...     past_values=batch["past_values"],
...     past_time_features=batch["past_time_features"],
...     past_observed_mask=batch["past_observed_mask"],
...     static_categorical_features=batch["static_categorical_features"],
...     future_values=batch["future_values"],
...     future_time_features=batch["future_time_features"],
... )

>>> loss = outputs.loss
>>> loss.backward()

>>> # during inference, one only provides past values
>>> # as well as possible additional features
>>> # the model autoregressively generates future values
>>> outputs = model.generate(
...     past_values=batch["past_values"],
...     past_time_features=batch["past_time_features"],
...     past_observed_mask=batch["past_observed_mask"],
...     static_categorical_features=batch["static_categorical_features"],
...     future_time_features=batch["future_time_features"],
... )

>>> mean_prediction = outputs.sequences.mean(dim=1)

The AutoformerForPrediction can also use static_real_features. To do so, set num_static_real_features in AutoformerConfig based on number of such features in the dataset (in case of tourism_monthly dataset it

is equal to 1), initialize the model and call as shown below:

>>> from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
>>> import torch
>>> from transformers import AutoformerConfig, AutoformerForPrediction

>>> file = hf_hub_download(
...     repo_id="hf-internal-testing/tourism-monthly-batch", filename="train-batch.pt", repo_type="dataset"
... )
>>> batch = torch.load(file)

>>> # check number of static real features
>>> num_static_real_features = batch["static_real_features"].shape[-1]

>>> # load configuration of pretrained model and override num_static_real_features
>>> configuration = AutoformerConfig.from_pretrained(
...     "huggingface/autoformer-tourism-monthly",
...     num_static_real_features=num_static_real_features,
... )
>>> # we also need to update feature_size as it is not recalculated
>>> configuration.feature_size += num_static_real_features

>>> model = AutoformerForPrediction(configuration)

>>> outputs = model(
...     past_values=batch["past_values"],
...     past_time_features=batch["past_time_features"],
...     past_observed_mask=batch["past_observed_mask"],
...     static_categorical_features=batch["static_categorical_features"],
...     static_real_features=batch["static_real_features"],
...     future_values=batch["future_values"],
...     future_time_features=batch["future_time_features"],
... )
