Training an LLM with numerical data not text data?

Beginners

Hello; starting my first LLM training project. Can LLMs be trained on numerical time series data without text?

My research is pointing to LLMs not being able to do this, but would like to confirm that, and/or maybe I need to use certain LLM types?

Thanks

Hey! In my opinion, LLMs are built for text, not numerical time series data. Models like RNNs, LSTMs, and transformers adapted for time series are better suited for that. So, while you could try to adapt an LLM, it’s not the best choice.
Maybe it’s better to use models specifically designed for time series.

Perfect, that’s what I needed to know.

Thank you!
