transformerForecasting - Transformer Deep Learning Model for Time Series Forecasting

Time series forecasting faces challenges due to the non-stationarity, nonlinearity, and chaotic nature of the data. Traditional deep learning models like Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) process data sequentially but are inefficient for long sequences. To overcome the limitations of these models, we proposed a transformer-based deep learning architecture utilizing an attention mechanism for parallel processing, enhancing prediction accuracy and efficiency. This paper presents user-friendly code for the implementation of the proposed transformer-based deep learning architecture utilizing an attention mechanism for parallel processing.
