Résumé	Informer is a Transformer-based model introduced by Zhou et al. in 2021 for long-sequence time-series forecasting, using a ProbSparse self-attention mechanism that lowers the computational complexity of the standard Transformer to O(L log L). It is built for problems that demand predictions across thousands of future steps.	iTransformer is a deep-learning architecture for multivariate time-series forecasting introduced by Liu et al. at ICLR 2024. Its defining idea is to invert the conventional Transformer tokenisation strategy: instead of treating each time step as a token, iTransformer treats each variate (sensor channel or feature series) as a single token whose embedding encodes the full observed look-back window. Self-attention is then applied across variates to capture inter-series dependencies, while a feed-forward network within each token learns temporal patterns.
