Modern forecasting approaches and challenges
Forecasting is a task which attracts and challenges scientists for more than 100 years.
Forecasting the future is a rare and mistic ability which attract and fascinate people for more than 100 years. In the modern era there is a ton of data which could be used to help for this task and there is also ton of research at the area. So from where to start and how to build an efficient and modern forecasting system?
At this talk you will understand the main challenges which to expect as well as the guidelines for their resolution. We will solve the forecasting problem as ML problem as once defined will make a comparison of the current state of the art algorithms.
