ElixirConf US 2024 - George Guimarães

Welcome to ElixirConf

Elixir has become an excellent ecosystem for doing Machine Learning productively.

I want to show how we can use NeuralProphet, a Stanford neural network project, to forecast business time series data, such as sales, user behaviour, or anything else.

What sets NeuralProphet (and its original non-neural project Prophet) apart from others is the ability to provide us with a model that can be reasoned and explained using simple words and graphs, perfect to be evaluated by humans.

NeuralProphet uses PyTorch, which means we can use the Nx ecosystem to leverage their models and tools.
