ManuelAlvarezC / flow-forecast

Deep learning PyTorch library for time series forecasting, classification, and anomaly detection (originally for flood forecasting).

Deep learning for time series forecasting

Flow forecast repository is an open-source deep learning for time series library. It provide all the latest SOTA models and cutting edge concepts with easy to understand interpretability metrics, cloud provider integration, and serving capabilities. Currently Task-TS from CoronaWhy primarily maintains this repository. Pull requests are welcome. Historically, this repository provided open source benchmark and codes for flash flood and river flow forecasting.

Getting Started

Using the library

1. Run pip install flood-forecast
2. Detailed info on training models can be found on the Wiki.

Models currently supported

1. Vanilla LSTM: A basic LSTM that is suitable for multivariate time series forecasting and transfer learning.
2. Full transformer: The full transformer with all 8 encoder and decoder blocks. Requires passing the target in at inference.
3. Simple Multi-Head Attention: A simple multi-head attention block/embedding layers. Suitable for transfer learning.
4. Transformer w/a linear decoder: A transformer with n-encoder blocks (this is tunable) and linear decoder. Suitable for transfer learning.
5. DA-RNN (CPU only for now): A well rounded model with which utilizes a LSTM + attention.

Forthcoming Models

We have a number of models we are planning on releasing soon. Please check our project board for more info

Historical River Flow Data

Task 1 Stream Flow Forecasting

This task focuses on forecasting a stream's future flow/height (in either cfs or feet respectively) given factors such as current flow, temperature, and precipitation. In the future we plan on adding more variables that help with the stream flow prediction such as snow pack data and the surrounding soil moisture index.

Task 2 Flood severity forecasting

Task two focuses on predicting the severity of the flood based on the flood forecast, population information, and topography. Flood severity is defined based on several factors including the number of injuires, property damage, and crop damage.
