Predicting energy consumption in large exposition centers presents a significant challenge, primarily due to the limited datasets and fluctuating electricity usage patterns. This study introduces a cutting-edge algorithm, the contrastive transformer network (CTN), to address these issues. By leveraging self-supervised learning, the CTN employs contrastive learning techniques across both temporal and contextual dimensions. Its transformer-based architecture, tailored for efficient feature extraction, allows the CTN to excel in predicting energy consumption in expansive structures, especially when data samples are scarce. Rigorous experiments on a proprietary dataset underscore the potency of the CTN in this domain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
