Transformers can handle sequences hundreds of time steps long without degradation in performance, unlike traditional RNNs.
Transformers process time series using self-attention over input sequences. Positional encodings preserve temporal order, while attention captures dependencies across long horizons. This allows forecasting, anomaly detection, and pattern recognition in complex sequences without recurrent layers.
💥 Impact (click to read)
Time series Transformers improve prediction accuracy for stock markets, IoT devices, and energy consumption patterns.
Analysts and engineers benefit from scalable, parallelizable models that can learn long-range temporal dependencies more effectively than RNNs.
