摘要:

基于现在和过去的数据进行未来预测的技术一直是直接应用于各种现实生活问题的领域。我们在本文中讨论了一个类似的问题。问题陈述由Kaggle提供,它也是Kaggle平台上正在进行的竞赛。在这个项目中,我们使用了一个具有挑战性的时间序列数据集,该数据集由俄罗斯最大的软件公司之一1C公司提供的每日销售数据组成。目标是根据过去的数据预测下个月每个产品和商店的总销售额。为了执行下个月的预测,我们部署了基于极端梯度提升(XGBoost)和长短期记忆(LSTM)的网络架构来执行学习任务。使用实际目标值和预测目标值之间的均方根误差(RMSE)来评估性能,并对部署的算法进行比较。已经发现XGBoost在这个数据集上比LSTM表现得更好,这可以归因于其相对较高的稀疏性。

英文摘要:

Techniques for making future predictions based upon the present and past data, has always been an area with direct application to various real life problems. We are discussing a similar problem in this paper. The problem statement is provided by Kaggle, which also serves as an ongoing competition on the Kaggle platform. In this project, we worked with a challenging time-series dataset consisting of daily sales data, kindly provided by one of the largest Russian software firms - 1C Company. The objective is to predict the total sales for every product and store in the next month given the past data. In order to perform forecasting for next month, we have deployed eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) based network architecture to perform learning task. Root mean squared error (RMSE) between the actual and predicted target values is used to evaluate the performance, and make comparisons between the deployed algorithms. It has been found that XGBoost fared better than LSTM over this dataset which can be attributed to its relatively higher sparsity.
