🚩 News (March 2024): Time-LLM has been upgraded to serve as a general framework for repurposing a wide range of language models to time series forecasting. It now defaults to supporting Llama-7B and includes compatibility with two additional smaller PLMs (GPT-2 and BERT). Simply adjust --llm_model
and --llm_dim
to switch backbones.
Time-LLM is a reprogramming framework to repurpose LLMs for general time series forecasting with the backbone language models kept intact. Notably, we show that time series analysis (e.g., forecasting) can be cast as yet another "language task" that can be effectively tackled by an off-the-shelf LLM.
- Time-LLM comprises two key components: (1) reprogramming the input time series into text prototype representations that are more natural for the LLM, and (2) augmenting the input context with declarative prompts (e.g., domain expert knowledge and task instructions) to guide LLM reasoning.
