What is chronos-t5-tiny?
Chronos-t5-tiny is a compact yet powerful time series forecasting model that represents part of the Chronos family of models. It's built on the T5 architecture but optimized specifically for time series prediction, using a unique approach that transforms numerical time series data into token sequences for processing.
Implementation Details
The model operates by converting time series data through scaling and quantization into a sequence of 4,096 tokens (compared to T5's standard 32,128 tokens). It leverages an encoder-decoder architecture to generate probabilistic forecasts by sampling multiple possible future trajectories.
