시계열 트랜스포머

개요

이 시계열 트랜스포머 모델은 시계열 예측을 위한 기본적인 인코더-디코더 구조의 트랜스포머 입니다. 이 모델은 kashif에 의해 기여되었습니다.

사용 팁

  • 다른 라이브러리의 모델들과 마찬가지로, TimeSeriesTransformerModel은 상단에 헤드가 없는 기본적인 트랜스포머 입니다. TimeSeriesTransformerForPrediction은 상단에 분포 헤드를 추가하여 시계열 예측에 사용할 수 있습니다. 이 모델은 이른바 확률적 예측 모델이며, 포인트 예측 모델이 아닙니다. 즉 샘플링할 수 있는 분포를 학습하며, 값을 직접 출력 하지는 않습니다.
  • TimeSeriesTransformerForPrediction은 두개의 블록으로 구성되어 있습니다. 인코더는 context_length의 시계열 값을 입력(past_values라고 부름)으로 받아들이며, 디코더는 미래의 prediction_length만큼 시계열 값을 예측합니다(future_values라고 부름). 학습중에는 모델에 past_values 와 future_values쌍을 모델에 제공해야 합니다.
  • 가공하지 않은 past_values 와 future_values 쌍 외에도, 일반적으로 모델에 추가적인 특징을 제공합니다. 다음은 그 특징들에 대해 소개합니다:
    • past_time_features: 모델이 past_values에 추가할 시간적 특성. 이는 트랜스포머 인코더의 “위치 인코딩” 역할을 합니다. 예를 들어 “월의 일”, “연도의 월” 등을 스칼라 값으로 (그리고 벡터로 쌓아서) 나타냅니다. 예시: 특정 시계열 값이 8월 11일에 기록되었다면, [11, 8]을 시간 특성 벡터로 사용할 수 있습니다 (11은 “월의 일”, 8은 “연도의 월”).
    • future_time_features: 모델이 future_values에 추가할 시간적 특성. 이는 트랜스포머 디코더의 “위치 인코딩” 역할을 합니다. 예를 들어 “월의 일”, “연도의 월” 등을 스칼라 값으로 (그리고 벡터로 쌓아서) 나타냅니다. 예: 특정 시계열 값이 8월 11일에 얻어졌다면, [11, 8]을 시간 특성 벡터로 사용할 수 있습니다 (11은 “월의 일”, 8은 “연도의 월”).
    • static_categorical_features: 시간에 따라 변하지 않는 범주형 특성 (즉, 모든 past_values와 future_values에 대해 동일한 값을 가짐). 예를 들어 특정 시계열을 식별하는 매장 ID나 지역 ID가 있습니다. 이러한 특성은 모든 데이터 포인트(미래의 데이터 포인트 포함)에 대해 알려져 있어야 합니다.
    • static_real_features: 시간에 따라 변하지 않는 실수값 특성 (즉, 모든 past_values와 future_values에 대해 동일한 값을 가짐). 예를 들어 시계열 값을 가진 제품의 이미지 표현 (시계열이 신발 판매에 관한 것이라면 “신발” 사진의 ResNet 임베딩 처럼)이 있습니다. 이러한 특성은 모든 데이터 포인트(미래의 데이터 포인트 포함)에 대해 알려져 있어야 합니다.
  • 이 모델은 기계 번역을 위한 트랜스포머 훈련과 유사하게 “교사 강제(teacher-forcing)” 방식으로 훈련됩니다. 즉, 훈련 중에 future_values를 디코더의 입력으로 오른쪽으로 한 위치 이동시키고, past_values의 마지막 값을 앞에 붙입니다. 각 시간 단계에서 모델은 다음 타겟을 예측해야 합니다. 따라서 훈련 설정은 언어를 위한 GPT 모델과 유사하지만, decoder_start_token_id 개념이 없습니다 (우리는 단순히 컨텍스트의 마지막 값을 디코더의 초기 입력으로 사용합니다).
  • 추론 시에는 past_values의 최종 값을 디코더의 입력으로 제공합니다. 그 다음, 모델에서 샘플링하여 다음 시간 단계에서의 예측을 만들고, 이를 디코더에 공급하여 다음 예측을 만듭니다 (자기회귀 생성이라고도 함).

    Example —

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a TimeSeriesTransformerModel. It is used to instantiate a Time Series Transformer model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the Time Series Transformer huggingface/time-series-transformer-tourism-monthly architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

>>> from transformers import TimeSeriesTransformerConfig, TimeSeriesTransformerModel

>>> # Initializing a Time Series Transformer configuration with 12 time steps for prediction
>>> configuration = TimeSeriesTransformerConfig(prediction_length=12)

>>> # Randomly initializing a model (with random weights) from the configuration
>>> model = TimeSeriesTransformerModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

Parameters

  • past_values (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length) or (batch_size, sequence_length, input_size)) — Past values of the time series, that serve as context in order to predict the future. The sequence size of this tensor must be larger than the context_length of the model, since the model will use the larger size to construct lag features, i.e. additional values from the past which are added in order to serve as “extra context”.

    The sequence_length here is equal to config.context_length + max(config.lags_sequence), which if no lags_sequence is configured, is equal to config.context_length + 7 (as by default, the largest look-back index in config.lags_sequence is 7). The property _past_length returns the actual length of the past.

    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 and lags).

    Optionally, missing values need to be replaced with zeros and indicated via the past_observed_mask.

    For multivariate time series, the input_size > 1 dimension is required and corresponds to the number of variates in the time series per time step.

  • past_time_features (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, num_features)) — Required 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. Holiday features are also a good example of time features.

    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 Time Series Transformer only learns additional embeddings for static_categorical_features.

    Additional dynamic real covariates can be concatenated to this tensor, with the caveat that these features must but known at prediction time.

    The num_features here is equal to config.num_time_features+config.num_dynamic_real_features`.

  • past_observed_mask (torch.BoolTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length) or (batch_size, sequence_length, input_size), optional) — Boolean mask to indicate which past_values were observed and which were missing. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

    • 1 for values that are observed,
    • 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.

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

    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) or (batch_size, prediction_length, input_size), optional) — Future values of the time series, that serve as labels for the model. The future_values is what the Transformer needs during training to learn to output, given the past_values.

    The sequence length here is equal to prediction_length.

    See the demo notebook and code snippets for details.

    Optionally, during training any missing values need to be replaced with zeros and indicated via the future_observed_mask.

    For multivariate time series, the input_size > 1 dimension is required and corresponds to the number of variates in the time series per time step.

  • future_time_features (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, prediction_length, num_features)) — Required time features for the prediction window, 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. Holiday features are also a good example of time features.

    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 Time Series Transformer only learns additional embeddings for static_categorical_features.

    Additional dynamic real covariates can be concatenated to this tensor, with the caveat that these features must but known at prediction time.

    The num_features here is equal to config.num_time_features+config.num_dynamic_real_features`.

  • future_observed_mask (torch.BoolTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length) or (batch_size, sequence_length, input_size), optional) — Boolean mask to indicate which future_values were observed and which were missing. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

    • 1 for values that are observed,
    • 0 for values that are missing (i.e. NaNs that were replaced by zeros).

    This mask is used to filter out missing values for the final loss calculation.

  • attention_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on certain token indices. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

    • 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]:

    • 1 indicates the head is not masked,
    • 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]:

    • 1 indicates the head is not masked,
    • 0 indicates the head is masked.
  • cross_attn_head_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (decoder_layers, decoder_attention_heads), optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the cross-attention modules. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

    • 1 indicates the head is not masked,
    • 0 indicates the head is masked.
  • encoder_outputs (tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional) — Tuple consists of last_hidden_state, hidden_states (optional) and attentions (optional) last_hidden_state of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size) (optional) is a sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.
  • past_key_values (tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor)), optional, returned when use_cache=True is passed or when config.use_cache=True) — Tuple of tuple(torch.FloatTensor) of length config.n_layers, with each tuple having 2 tensors of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, embed_size_per_head)) and 2 additional tensors of shape (batch_size, num_heads, encoder_sequence_length, embed_size_per_head).

    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).
  • 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.

  • past_observed_mask (torch.BoolTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length) or (batch_size, sequence_length, input_size), optional) — Boolean mask to indicate which past_values were observed and which were missing. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

    • 1 for values that are observed,
    • 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.

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

    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) or (batch_size, prediction_length, input_size), optional) — Future values of the time series, that serve as labels for the model. The future_values is what the Transformer needs during training to learn to output, given the past_values.

    The sequence length here is equal to prediction_length.

    See the demo notebook and code snippets for details.

    Optionally, during training any missing values need to be replaced with zeros and indicated via the future_observed_mask.

    For multivariate time series, the input_size > 1 dimension is required and corresponds to the number of variates in the time series per time step.

  • future_time_features (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, prediction_length, num_features)) — Required time features for the prediction window, 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. Holiday features are also a good example of time features.

    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 Time Series Transformer only learns additional embeddings for static_categorical_features.

    Additional dynamic real covariates can be concatenated to this tensor, with the caveat that these features must but known at prediction time.

    The num_features here is equal to config.num_time_features+config.num_dynamic_real_features`.

  • future_observed_mask (torch.BoolTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length) or (batch_size, sequence_length, input_size), optional) — Boolean mask to indicate which future_values were observed and which were missing. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

    • 1 for values that are observed,
    • 0 for values that are missing (i.e. NaNs that were replaced by zeros).

    This mask is used to filter out missing values for the final loss calculation.

  • attention_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on certain token indices. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

    • 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]:

    • 1 indicates the head is not masked,
    • 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]:

    • 1 indicates the head is not masked,
    • 0 indicates the head is masked.
  • cross_attn_head_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (decoder_layers, decoder_attention_heads), optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the cross-attention modules. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

    • 1 indicates the head is not masked,
    • 0 indicates the head is masked.
  • encoder_outputs (tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional) — Tuple consists of last_hidden_state, hidden_states (optional) and attentions (optional) last_hidden_state of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size) (optional) is a sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.
  • past_key_values (tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor)), optional, returned when use_cache=True is passed or when config.use_cache=True) — Tuple of tuple(torch.FloatTensor) of length config.n_layers, with each tuple having 2 tensors of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, embed_size_per_head)) and 2 additional tensors of shape (batch_size, num_heads, encoder_sequence_length, embed_size_per_head).

    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).
  • 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.

The TimeSeriesTransformerForPrediction 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.
