       | The "Comparison with Related Libraries" section is notably
       | missing comparison against aeon and sktime, which also aim to be
       | the kind of holistic time-series library like Merlion.

       | leave much to be desired in parameterization.

         | Same here. The open source space here is neglected. I just

       | Is this a competitor to Google's TimeFM?

         | TimeFM is a single pre-trained decoder-only model for time-
         | series forecasting. Merlion is a collection of models, both
         | neural and more traditional, for a wide variety of time-series-
         | related tasks. I can imagine TimeFM ending up in the set
         | eventually, given right circumstances.

           | Thanks for the summary explainer. Very hard to keep up with
           | the abundance of models if you don't work directly in that
           | area.

       | That said, it also looks like this project has been around for 3+
       | years without issue.

       | confusing everyone.
