fev-bench

A forecast evaluation benchmark from the AutoGluon team, packaged as a Streamlit app in a Docker Space. For people who compare time-series forecasting models.

Made by autogluon on Hugging Face. These notes are Mindket's, written from its Space page and README; the app's own files and license are on Hugging Face.

About

What it is: fev-bench is a forecast evaluation benchmark from the AutoGluon team, hosted as a Docker Space. It names the autogluon/fev_datasets dataset, and the repository holds a leaderboard app file, a benchmarks file and a folder of pages. The README is the stock Streamlit welcome text, so it says nothing about the benchmark itself.

Who it suits: It suits forecasting researchers and machine learning engineers who compare models on shared datasets. It also suits developers who want to see how a Streamlit leaderboard is laid out.

Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example
Research | Forecasting researchers | Compare models on a common benchmark | Open the app and look at the model results
Software | ML engineers | Judge forecasting libraries before choosing one | Read the benchmark code and datasets
Education | Students | See how forecast evaluation is organized | Browse the leaderboard pages
Operations | Analytics teams | Learn how forecast quality is compared | Review which datasets the benchmark uses

Anyone who wants to run a forecast on their own data can skip it, since this is an evaluation resource.

Where to use it: The app runs in two places.

• A web browser, on the page of the Space at Hugging Face
• Windows, macOS or Linux, as a local copy built with Docker

Use case | Who | What they get back
Benchmark browsing | Researchers | Evaluation results shown in a Streamlit app
Dataset lookup | Engineers | The fev_datasets collection the Space names
Code study | Developers | A repository with a leaderboard app, benchmark code and a Dockerfile

How to set it up: The online page needs nothing installed. A local copy needs the following.

• Docker
• Python with pip, to install the Hugging Face hub package

1. Install the Hugging Face hub package and download a copy of the Space.
2. Move into the new folder and build the Docker image.
3. Run the container with port 8501 published.

pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download autogluon/fev-bench --repo-type space --local-dir fev-bench
cd fev-bench
docker build -t fev-bench .
docker run -it -p 8501:8501 fev-bench

How to use it: Open the page and browse it. The source does not describe its pages, so what you see depends on the app. With a local container running, open the Streamlit page on port 8501.

Tool | What it does
fev-leaderboard-app.py | The leaderboard app file in the repository
benchmarks.py | Benchmark code in the repository
fev_pages folder | Holds the app's pages
fev_datasets | The dataset collection the Space names

Example: You open the Space and look through its pages to see how the benchmark ranks forecasting models. The source does not list the models or scores, so you read them from the page itself.

For newcomers and experts: If you are new to this, a benchmark is a fixed set of tasks that lets different models be compared fairly. Open the Space and look at what each page shows before reading any code.

If you know the field, the repository contains a leaderboard app, a benchmarks module, table-saving code, a src folder and project files for uv. It runs in Docker on port 8501 with basic CPU hardware. The README gives no metrics, so check the app and the dataset card for the definitions used.

Datasets from fev_datasets
Benchmark code runs the models
Tables are saved
Streamlit pages show the results

Good to know: The README is a template, so the benchmark's own details are not documented there. Read the app and the dataset page for specifics.
