Today we're joined by Abdul Fatir Ansari, a machine learning scientist at AWS AI Labs in Berlin, to discuss his paper, "Chronos: Learning the Language of Time Series." Fatir explains the challenges of leveraging pre-trained language models for time series forecasting. We explore the advantages of Chronos over statistical models, as well as its promising results in zero-shot forecasting benchmarks. Finally, we address critiques of Chronos, the ongoing research to improve synthetic data quality, and the potential for integrating Chronos into production systems.
