What is N-BEATS?
N-BEATS: A neural forecasting architecture made only of stacked fully connected blocks, each producing a backward estimate that is subtracted from the input and a forward forecast that is added to the total. It performed strongly on standard forecasting benchmarks without series-specific engineering.
N-BEATS: an example
Forecast monthly series with a stack of blocks that separately learn trend and seasonal shapes.
