The paper presents an empirical benchmark of nine modern deep‑learning models for time‑series forecasting of smart‑meter energy consumption, evaluated on two publicly available datasets. It examines how historical input length, prediction horizon, and model architecture affect accuracy, finding that longer historical context improves performance up to a saturation point and that accuracy declines with longer horizons. The study also compares computational complexity, showing that lightweight architectures achieve similar performance to heavier models, and notes that model choice has limited impact across most demographic and household subgroups.

It examines how historical input length, prediction horizon, and model architecture affect accuracy, finding that longer historical context improves performance up to a saturation point while accuracy declines with longer horizons.

This paper presents a comparative study of two distinct approaches, XGBoost and Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), for forecasting transmitted heat energy in District Heating Systems (DHS). The objective is to explore scenarios in which conventional ML algorithms demonstrate better performance over deep learning networks in time series forecasting and the associated benefits in terms of computational cost and environmental impact.

The paper introduces a panoramic aerodynamic performance prediction framework for turbomachinery cascades that first predicts basic Navier-Stokes parameters (temperature, pressure, density) and then derives key turbine stage performance metrics. A transformer‑enhanced neural operator (TNO) is trained on Rotor 37 blades to accurately predict transonic compressor blade performance, outperforming state‑of‑the‑art deep learning operators like FNO and DeepONet. The TNO also supports downstream tasks such as sensitivity analysis and optimization, achieving CFD‑like results while cutting computational cost by four orders of magnitude.
