Yes, but it doesn't work well.

There are plenty of other time series problems where NNs don't outperform classical methods such as ARIMA.

Once again I ask: What do you mean with "works well". Just because some other ML method is better in practice doesn't mean that a NN can not achieve the same degree of approximation in theory.

What do you mean with "works well"

There is no empirical data to support that it is more effective than other methods.

Theory is not that valuable when evaluating papers in AI. It is all about the empirical results.

I'm wondering if the ARIMA models aren't a very simple case of NN (time convolution+regression) ?
