Abstract
This paper investigates the applicability of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) in forecasting call center volumes, focusing on the challenges of complex seasonal patterns and autocorrelation. The authors compare the performance of Elman, LSTM, and GRU RNNs against traditional methods like Winters' smoothing and ARIMA, using a designed experiment and real-world call center data. The study explores parameter optimization and convergence criteria for RNNs and highlights the practical considerations for using deep learning in forecasting.
