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.

A two-stage forecasting system is introduced for predicting CPU workload in private clouds. The model first forecasts customer service requests in Transactions Per Second (TPS) and then estimates future CPU usage from the TPS forecast, both stages using XGBoost within a cascaded architecture. Experiments on real private‑cloud traces show SMAPE below 7% for most applications, with the best case achieving an MAE of 0.7372 and an R² of 0.9185, and stable error accumulation over a 60‑step horizon.

arXiv:2603. 15506v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We argue that the current practice of evaluating AI/ML time-series forecasting models, predominantly on benchmarks characterized by strong, persistent periodicities and seasonalities, obscures real progress by overlooking the performance of efficient classical methods.
