Abstract

A system and method for real-time time series forecasting using a compound large codeword model with integrated supervisory neurons. The system processes diverse inputs through adaptive codebook generation and codeword allocation. A projection network fuses different data types, creating unified representations for a latent transformer-based machine learning core. The core contains local neural network regions of interconnected operational neurons, monitored by supervisory neurons. These supervisory neurons receive activation data from operational neurons, perform real-time statistical analysis, determine necessary structural modifications, and initiate their implementation during operation. This architecture enables efficient handling of multi-modal data, capturing complex relationships between different input types. The combination of adaptive codebook generation and the supervisory neuron system ensures responsiveness to evolving data patterns and task requirements. This approach provides more accurate and timely forecasts by leveraging diverse data types in a sophisticated, integrated manner, while continuously adapting its structure to maintain optimal performance.
