It abstracts away boilerplate around data handling (variable transformations, missing values, subsampling), model training, and evaluation, while providing several state-of-the-art neural architectures out of the box. The library leverages lightning to handle training on CPUs and GPUs transparently, with automatic logging and visualization.\n\nYou use it by converting your pandas DataFrame into a TimeSeriesDataSet, choosing a model architecture (Temporal Fusion Transformer, N-BEATS, N-HiTS, DeepAR, or simpler baselines like LSTM), and training via the Lightning Trainer. It includes multi-horizon metrics, interpretation capabilities, and optional hyperparameter tuning. The package targets both practitioners seeking reasonable defaults and researchers needing flexibility to implement custom architectures.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and provides a well-structured abstraction over multiple state-of-the-art forecasting architectures. Install it if you need to train neural forecasting models on time series data and want to avoid reimplementing standard architectures or training boilerplate.
