The Informer model for multivariate probabilistic time series forecasting, explains its improvements over the vanilla Transformer (ProbSparse attention and Distilling), and demonstrates how to use it in the 🤗 Transformers library.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://huggingface.co/blog/informer:

> In this post we introduce the Informer model (Zhou, Haoyi, et al., 2021), AAAI21 best paper which is now available in 🤗 Transformers. We will show how to use the Informer model for the multivariate probabilistic forecasting task
