• Abstract: Time series data is being used everywhere, from sales records to patients' health evolution metrics. The ability to deal with this data has become a necessity, and time series analysis and forecasting are used for the same. Every Machine Learning enthusiast would consider these as very important tools, as they deepen the understanding of the characteristics of data. Forecasting is used to predict the value of a variable in the future, based on its past occurrences. A detailed survey of the various methods that are used for forecasting has been presented in this paper. The complete process of forecasting, from preprocessing to validation has also been explained thoroughly. Various statistical and deep learning models have been considered, notably, ARIMA, Prophet and LSTMs. Hybrid versions of Machine Learning models have also been explored and elucidated. Our work can be used by anyone to develop a good understanding of the forecasting process, and to identify various state of the art models which are being used today.

  "Context is Key" (CiK) is a time series forecasting benchmark that pairs numerical data with diverse types of carefully crafted textual context. We evaluate a range of approaches, including statistical models, time series foundation models, and LLM-based forecasters. Our experiments highlight the importance of incorporating contextual information, demonstrate surprising performance when using LLM-based forecasting models, and also reveal some of their critical shortcomings.

  We present EAMDrift, a novel method that combines forecasts from multiple individual predictors by weighting each prediction according to a performance metric. EAMDrift is designed to automatically adapt to out-of-distribution patterns in data and identify the most appropriate models to use at each moment. Our study on real-world datasets shows that EAMDrift outperforms individual baseline models by 20% and achieves comparable accuracy results to non-interpretable ensemble models.

The results show that off-the-shelf AutoML tools can provide satisfactory results but in the presence of concept drift, detection or adaptation techniques have to be applied to maintain the predictive accuracy over time.
