Outline:

• Introduction to demand forecasting in the context of e-commerce logistics.
• Review of main probabilistic forecasting techniques.
• How can probabilistic demand forecasting enable stochastic downstream applications (human resource planning, inventory optimisation)
• Scalable training and inference system which can handle thousands/millions of time series with a cold-start problem.
