Usage

Install dependencies

conda env create -f requirements.yml
conda activate lstf

Ablation studies on benchmarks

The scripts for Transformers run vanilla Transformer (enc-dec), Transformer without the encoder (dec) and, Transformer with autoregressive decoding (auto). The scripts for Autoformer perform more detailed ablation studies.

./scripts/run_transformer.sh
./scripts/run_autoformer.sh

Ablation studies on synthetic dataset

./scripts/run_synthetic.sh
