Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this model unique?
The model's uniqueness lies in its ProbSparse attention mechanism, which selectively focuses on "active" queries rather than processing all attention connections. This results in significantly improved efficiency while maintaining prediction accuracy.
Q: What are the recommended use cases?
This model is specifically designed for monthly tourism forecasting applications. It's particularly effective for scenarios requiring long-term predictions of tourism patterns, visitor numbers, and related time-series data in the tourism sector.
