We show that KENN not only reduces data dependency of the overall framework but also improves performance by producing predictions that are better than the ones produced by purely knowledge and data driven domains.

• Abstract: End-to-end data-driven machine learning methods often have exuberant requirements in terms of quality and quantity of training data which are often impractical to fulfill in real-world applications. This is specifically true in time series domain where problems like disaster prediction, anomaly detection, and demand prediction often do not have a large amount of historical data. Moreover, relying purely on past examples for training can be sub-optimal since in doing so we ignore one very important domain i.e knowledge, which has its own distinct advantages. In this paper, we propose a novel knowledge fusion architecture, Knowledge Enhanced Neural Network (KENN), for time series forecasting that specifically aims towards combining strengths of both knowledge and data domains while mitigating their individual weaknesses. We show that KENN not only reduces data dependency of the overall framework but also improves performance by producing predictions that are better than the ones produced by purely knowledge and data driven domains. We also compare KENN with state-of-the-art forecasting methods and show that predictions produced by KENN are significantly better even when trained on only 50\% of the data.

  Deep generative learning uses certain ML models to learn the underlying distribution of existing data and generate synthetic samples that resemble the real data. In this study, our objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of data augmentation using variational autoencoder (VAE)-based deep generative models. We investigated whether the data augmentation leads to improved accuracy in the predictions of a deep neural network (DNN) model trained using the augmented data.

By considering domain similarities through task-specific metadata, our model improved generalization, where the excess risk decreases as the number of training tasks increases. Compared to existing state-of-the-art models, our method demonstrates a notable improvement in demand prediction accuracy, reducing the Mean Absolute Error by 26.24% on an internal vending machine dataset and by 1.04% on the publicly accessible JD.com dataset.

  neural network predictions tend to be unpredictable and overconfident when faced with out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs. We observe that neural network predictions often tend towards a constant value as input data becomes increasingly OOD. We show how one can leverage our insights in practice to enable risk-sensitive decision-making in the presence of OOD inputs.

This knowledge is adjusted for the new securities by a set of augmented connections, which are optimized using the new data.

We propose a Temporal Calibrated Regularization (TCR) in which we utilize the original labels and the predictions in the previous epoch together.
