• Abstract: Short-term load forecasting is of paramount importance in the efficient operation and planning of power systems, given its inherent non-linear and dynamic nature. Recent strides in deep learning have shown promise in addressing this challenge. However, these methods often grapple with hyperparameter sensitivity, opaqueness in interpretability, and high computational overhead for real-time deployment. In this paper, I propose a novel solution that surmounts these obstacles. Our approach harnesses the power of the Particle-Swarm Optimization algorithm to autonomously explore and optimize hyperparameters, a Multi-Head Attention mechanism to discern the salient features crucial for accurate forecasting, and a streamlined framework for computational efficiency. Our method undergoes rigorous evaluation using a genuine electricity demand dataset. The results underscore its superiority in terms of accuracy, robustness, and computational efficiency. Notably, our Mean Absolute Percentage Error of 1.9376 marks a significant advancement over existing state-of-the-art approaches, heralding a new era in short-term load forecasting.

  We introduce Powerpropagation, a new weight- parameterisation for neural networks that leads to inherently sparse models. Models trained in this manner exhibit similar performance, but have a distribution with markedly higher density at zero, allowing more parameters to be pruned safely. Here, we combine Powerpropagation with a traditional weight-pruning technique as well as recent state-of-the-art sparse-to-sparse algorithms, showing superior performance on the ImageNet benchmark.
