LOW LEVEL FORECASTING USING TOPOLOGICAL HIERARCHICAL DECOMPOSITION

Abstract

An example computer-implemented method for temporal data analysis and forecasting utilizes topological hierarchical decompositions to process historical and future time windows. The method receives temporal data and generates multiple sets of historical time subsets with varying lengths, where information in shorter subsets is duplicated in longer ones. Future time windows are also generated in a similar manner. Future time windows are chronologically after a given initial time. The method creates past and future topological hierarchical decompositions and directed graph adjacency arrays. Customer attention matrices are generated for past and future windows, and matrix multiplications are performed to create self-attention arrays. These arrays are then multiplied together. The method culminates in providing a dashboard for forecasting demand after an initial time point, enabling comprehensive temporal data analysis and prediction.
