Researchers & Research Groups on Forecasting with Neural Networks

 

There are very few research institutions focussing only or primarily on Neural Network forecasting. Usually, individual member of a research team in the area of forecasting, computational intelligence, data mining, artificial intelligence, operations research and management science or information systems focus their work. These experts and their publications should serve as an initial contact ...

 

	Siemens Research Lab
	Research unit under the Supervision of Dr. Hans-Georg Zimmermann, showing a track record of year s in neural networks for forecasting. He has developed a commercial software simulator SENN and focuses on recurrent architectures. http://www.kent.edu/

	Georgia State University, College of Business
	Although Georgia State doesn't have a research team dedicated to forecasting, Prof. G. Peter Zhang researches and publishes heavily in neural network forecasting.   http://www.gsu.edu/~dscgpz/index.html

Lancaster University Management School - Centre for Forecasting

One of the few international research centres focussing on forecasting. Not only conventional methods of exponential smoothing, regression, ARIMA etc. are analysed but also soft issues of organisational structure of forecasting, processes and systems. Includes a team of specialist focussing purely on NN forecasting http://www.lums.lancs.ac.uk or s.crone@lancaster.ac.uk  --> watch out! this website is hosted by us, so we ARE biased ;-)

 

 

 

 

Possibly one of the most efficient ways to reach a large amount of researchers & practitioners at the same time & with limited effort is through online community services, such as mailing lists. The most effective are

 

• Neural Forecasting mailing list, maintained on these webpages
• Forecasting mailing list maintained by the International Institute of Forecasters.
• Time series mailing list
