# ============================================================
# Task: traffic_flow_forecasting
# ============================================================
# Task objective:
# - Use a historical window of LargeST traffic_flow to predict a future window.
# - This is a typical multisensor time series forecasting task.
#
# Core semantics:
# - sample defines one sample: a decision timestamp.
# - inputs defines what the model can access: historical traffic_flow before timestamp,
#   plus future covariates known at prediction time, such as day_of_week.
# - prediction defines what to predict: the traffic_flow sequence over the future horizon.
# - leakage defines which future values must be excluded from inputs: future traffic_flow must never be an input.
# ============================================================

task:
  id: traffic_flow_forecasting # Unique task ID; keep it consistent with the directory name for automatic discovery by scripts.
  type: time_series_forecasting # Task type: time series forecasting.
  description: >
    Predict future LargeST traffic_flow from historical traffic_flow.
    Each sample corresponds to one decision timestamp, and labels are stored
    by index reference to avoid expanding all sensor-by-time targets into labels.csv.

# Whether to inherit the general processing rules in ../general_task.yaml.
inherit_general: true

sample:
  primary_key: timestamp

  # Label storage mode.
  # index_reference: labels.csv does not expand every (ID, timestamp, horizon) label;
  #                  instead, reference columns point to the underlying time series file.
  # long_table:      labels.csv stores each target value in a separate row; this is larger but easier to inspect.
