Description

Forecasting plays a very crucial role in business planning across a plethora of industries from Entertainment to Finance to Healthcare. In time-series forecasting, the presence of a time component implicitly brings in a lot of contributing variables making this an especially interesting branch of machine learning. In this session we will take a bird’s eye view of different state-of-the-art tools, techniques & implementations currently in use for time-series forecasting from classical forecasting to AutoML & deep-learning, and how to deploy them at scale. The discussion would also include a case-study, with live code, of how to best approach a time-series problem, and choose the right algorithm, for economic forecasting in the context of Covid outbreak, which adds unprecedented uncertainties to the problem.
