A Diagnostic Protocol for GNNs in Electricity Load Forecasting: Separating Parameter Sharing from Neighborhood Access

The paper introduces a diagnostic protocol to disentangle the contributions of parameter sharing and neighborhood access in graph neural networks (GNNs) for electricity load forecasting. By comparing a GNN to three reference models—per-node, shared-parameter without neighbors, and the same GNN without edges—the study evaluates the impact of graph structure across datasets from France, UK feeders, and client consumption series. Results show that parameter sharing often accounts for most of the performance gain, while edges contribute less and can be diminished by degree-preserving rewiring.

An Empirical Benchmark of Deep Time-Series Models for Smart Meter Energy Forecasting

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.
