Why in the name of god did they try to bring LLM to the pictures. Saying AI/ML is good enough for predictive maintenance tasks, but noooo, it has to be LLM. If they want to be specific then don't be misleading, I think what they mean is the attention layer/operation commonly used in LLM to capture time series data. I understand that the Recurrent style neural network and LSTM has its limitations. And I agree that exploring attention to be used in time series data is an interesting research but LLM? Just no.
