NBEATS
Neural basis expansion analysis for interpretable time series forecasting

Tensorflow/Pytorch implementation | Paper | Results

NBeats CI


Outputs of the generic and interpretable layers of NBEATS

Installation

It is possible to install the two backends at the same time.

From PyPI

Install the Tensorflow/Keras backend: pip install nbeats-keras

NBEATS - Keras - Downloads

Install the Pytorch backend: pip install nbeats-pytorch

NBEATS - PyTorch - Downloads

From the sources

Installation is based on a MakeFile.

Command to install N-Beats with Keras: make install-keras

Command to install N-Beats with Pytorch: make install-pytorch

Run on the GPU

This trick is no longer necessary on the recent versions of Tensorflow. To force the utilization of the GPU (with the Keras backend), run: pip uninstall -y tensorflow && pip install tensorflow-gpu.

Example

Here is an example to get familiar with both backends. Note that only the Keras backend supports input_dim>1 at the moment.

import warnings

import numpy as np

from nbeats_keras.model import NBeatsNet as NBeatsKeras
from nbeats_pytorch.model import NBeatsNet as NBeatsPytorch

warnings.filterwarnings(action='ignore', message='Setting attributes')


def main():
    # https://keras.io/layers/recurrent/
    # At the moment only Keras supports input_dim > 1. In the original paper, input_dim=1.
    num_samples, time_steps, input_dim, output_dim = 50_000, 10, 1, 1

    # This example is for both Keras and Pytorch. In practice, choose the one you prefer.
    for BackendType in [NBeatsKeras, NBeatsPytorch]:
        # NOTE: If you choose the Keras backend with input_dim>1, you have 
        # to set the value here too (in the constructor).
        backend = BackendType(
            backcast_length=time_steps, forecast_length=output_dim,
            stack_types=(NBeatsKeras.GENERIC_BLOCK, NBeatsKeras.GENERIC_BLOCK),
            nb_blocks_per_stack=2, thetas_dim=(4, 4), share_weights_in_stack=True,
            hidden_layer_units=64
        )

        # Definition of the objective function and the optimizer.
        backend.compile(loss='mae', optimizer='adam')

        # Definition of the data. The problem to solve is to find f such as | f(x) - y | -> 0.
        # where f = np.mean.
        x = np.random.uniform(size=(num_samples, time_steps, input_dim))
        y = np.mean(x, axis=1, keepdims=True)

        # Split data into training and testing datasets.
        c = num_samples // 10
        x_train, y_train, x_test, y_test = x[c:], y[c:], x[:c], y[:c]
        test_size = len(x_test)

        # Train the model.
        print('Training...')
        backend.fit(x_train, y_train, validation_data=(x_test, y_test), epochs=20, batch_size=128)

        # Save the model for later.
        backend.save('n_beats_model.h5')

        # Predict on the testing set (forecast).
        predictions_forecast = backend.predict(x_test)
        np.testing.assert_equal(predictions_forecast.shape, (test_size, backend.forecast_length, output_dim))

        # Predict on the testing set (backcast).
        predictions_backcast = backend.predict(x_test, return_backcast=True)
        np.testing.assert_equal(predictions_backcast.shape, (test_size, backend.backcast_length, output_dim))

        # Load the model.
        model_2 = BackendType.load('n_beats_model.h5')

        np.testing.assert_almost_equal(predictions_forecast, model_2.predict(x_test))
