Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Time series forecasting plays a pivotal role in diverse fields, including finance, healthcare, energy, climate science, and supply chain management. With the rapid advancements in machine learning, deep learning, and statistical modeling, forecasting accuracy and efficiency have reached unprecedented levels. This Special Issue aims to explore cutting-edge methodologies, innovative algorithms, and practical applications in time series forecasting, fostering interdisciplinary research and real-world impact.
We invite contributions addressing key challenges such as handling high-dimensional data, improving interpretability, integrating domain knowledge, and adapting to non-stationary environments. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) neural forecasting architectures, probabilistic forecasting, hybrid models, explainable AI for time series, and large-scale forecasting systems. Additionally, we encourage submissions showcasing novel applications in emerging domains like renewable energy prediction, epidemiological modeling, and industrial IoT.
This Special Issue seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical advancements and practical implementations, providing a platform for researchers and practitioners to share insights, benchmark techniques, and discuss future directions. By compiling state-of-the-art research, we aim to accelerate progress in time series forecasting and highlight its transformative potential across industries.
