Abstract:Time-series forecasting has been an important research domain for so many years. Its applications include ECG predictions, sales forecasting, weather conditions, even COVID-19 spread predictions. These applications have motivated many researchers to figure out an optimal forecasting approach, but the modeling approach also changes as the application domain changes. This work has focused on reviewing different forecasting approaches for telemetry data predictions collected at data centers. Forecasting of telemetry data is a critical feature of network and data center management products. However, there are multiple options of forecasting approaches that range from a simple linear statistical model to high capacity deep learning architectures. In this paper, we attempted to summarize and evaluate the performance of well known time series forecasting techniques. We hope that this evaluation provides a comprehensive summary to innovate in forecasting approaches for telemetry data.
Abstract:This document describes an approach to the problem of predicting dangerous seismic events in active coal mines up to 8 hours in advance. It was developed as a part of the AAIA'16 Data Mining Challenge: Predicting Dangerous Seismic Events in Active Coal Mines. The solutions presented consist of ensembles of various predictive models trained on different sets of features. The best one achieved a winning score of 0.939 AUC.
