📈 LSTM Airline Passenger Forecasting Lab
An interactive 3D visualization of an LSTM reading a monthly airline-passenger time series: watch the lookback window slide, the hidden state react, and the forecast track (or miss) the real seasonal curve.
A 3D bar chart of monthly airline passenger totals with a sliding lookback window, an animated hidden-state cluster, and a live LSTM-style prediction tube that tightens or drifts as you change the network's memory and capacity.
🔬 What It Demonstrates
Prediction accuracy depends on both lookback window length and hidden-state size: short windows and small hidden layers under-fit the seasonal pattern, while wider context and more capacity let the blue prediction tube hug the grey actual bars.
🎮 How to Use
Adjust lookback window and hidden units to watch the mean absolute error change, then enable the 12-month forecast to see the amber uncertainty cone widen the further the model projects beyond real data.
💡 Did You Know?
The AirPassengers dataset (1949-1960) is one of the most-used toy datasets in time-series forecasting — it has trend, multiplicative seasonality, and nonstationary variance, all in just 144 points.
