Diviner: Grouped Timeseries Forecasting at scale
Diviner is an execution framework wrapper around popular open source time series forecasting libraries. The aim of the project is to simplify the creation, training, orchestration, and MLOps logistics associated with forecasting projects that involve the predictions of many discrete independent events.
Is this right for my project?
Diviner is meant to help with large-scale forecasting. Instead of describing each individual use case where it may be applicable, here is a non-exhaustive list of projects that it would fit well as a solution for:
- Forecasting regional sales within each country that a company does business in per day
- Predicting inventory demand at regional warehouses for thousands of products
- Forecasting traveler counts at each airport within a country daily
- Predicting electrical demand per neighborhood (or household) in a multi-state region
Each of these examples has a common theme:
- The data is temporally homogenous (all of the data is collected daily, hourly, weekly, etc.).
- There is a large number of individual models that need to be built due to the cardinality of the data.
- There is no guarantee of seasonal, trend, or residual homogeneity in each series.
- Varying levels of aggregation may be called for to solve different use cases.
The primary problem that Diviner solves is managing the execution of many discrete time-series modeling tasks. Diviner provides a high-level API and metadata management approach that relieves the operational burden of managing hundreds or thousands of individual models.
