A new research paper challenges the common interpretation of attention maps in time-series forecasting models. The study found that while attention maps in a load-forecasting model are structured and sensitive to future weather data, they do not accurately explain the timing of forecast peaks. The model's predictions were more accurate than what the attention maps suggested, indicating that attention might serve an internal reference role for integrating future information rather than directly explaining peak prediction.
