摘要	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.	The Reformer is an efficient variant of the Transformer architecture introduced by Kitaev, Kaiser, and Levskaya at ICLR 2020. It addresses the prohibitive O(L²) memory and computational cost of standard self-attention for long sequences. The key innovations are locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) attention, which approximates full attention in O(L log L) time, and reversible residual layers that dramatically reduce activation memory during training.
