I'm not a fan of this blog post as it tries to pass off a method that's not accepted as a good or standard time series methodology (graph transformers) as though it were a norm. Transformers perform poorly on time series, and graph deep learning performs poorly for tasks that don't have real behaviorial/physical edges (physical space/molecules/social graphs etc), so it's unclear why combining them would produce anything useful for "business applications" of time series like sales forecasting.

For those interested in transformers with time series, I recommend reading this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.13504. There is also plenty of other research showing that transformers-based time series models generally underperform much simpler alternatives like boosted trees.

After looking further it seems like this startup is both trying to publish academic research promoting these models as well as selling it to businesses, which seems like a conflict of interest to me.
