Yuta Kashino is the CEO of BakFoo Inc. and has over 20 years of experience working with Python and related technologies. He discusses structural time series models in TensorFlow Probability and how they can be used for time series forecasting. Key components of structural time series models in TFP include LocalLinearTrend, Sum, build_factored_surrogate_posterier, and fit_surrogate_posterier for variational inference, and fit_with_hmc for MCMC. Structural time series models provide a probabilistic approach to time series modeling and forecasting.
