I am trying to make regression tasks for time series, my data is like the below, i make window size of 10, and input feature as below, and target is the 5th column. as you see it has data of 70, 110, -100, 540,-130, 50

My model as below:

model = Sequential((
 Conv1D(filters=filters, kernel_size=kernel_size, activation='relu',
 input_shape=(window_size, nb_series)),
 MaxPooling1D(),
 Conv1D(filters=filters, kernel_size=kernel_size, activation='relu'),
 MaxPooling1D(),
 Flatten(),
 Dense(nb_outputs, activation='linear'),
))
model.compile(loss='mse', optimizer='adam', metrics=['mae'])

My Input features as below:

0.00000000,0.42857143,0.57142857,0.00000000,70.00000000,1.00061741,1.00002238,22.40000000,24.85000000,30.75000000,8.10000000,1.00015876,1.00294701,0.99736059,-44.57995000,1.00166700,0.99966561,-0.00003286,0.00030157,1.00252034,49.18000000,40.96386000,19.74918000,-62.22000000

I get the below loss and no matter how many epochs, switching between activation functions, optimizer.
I understand that this is because of the mean of the output over my dataset is between 122-124 this is why i always get this value.

297055/297071 [============================>.] - ETA: 0s - loss: 22789.0087 - mean_absolute_error: 123.0670
297071/297071 [==============================] - 144s 486us/step - loss: 22788.9740 - mean_absolute_error: 123.0673 - val_loss: 10519.1722 - val_mean_absolute_error: 79.3461

And by testing the prediction using the below code:

pred = model.predict(X_test)
print('nnactual', 'predicted', sep='t')
for actual, predicted in zip(y_test, pred.squeeze()):
 print(actual.squeeze(), predicted, sep='t')

I get the below output:

for linear activation at the output layer

20.0 -0.059563223
-22.0 -0.059563223
-55.0 -0.059563223

for relu activation at the output layer:

235.0 0.0
-170.0 0.0
154.0 0.0

And Sigmoid:

-54.0 1.4216835e-36
-39.0 0.0
66.0 2.0888916e-37

Is there a way to predict continuous integers like above ?

Is it the activation function ?

Is it an issue of feature selection ?

Is it an architectural issue, maybe LSTM is better ?

Also any recommendation regarding the kernel size, filters, loss, activation and optimizer is so much appreciate.

Update:
I have tried to use LSTM using the below model:

# design network
model = Sequential()
model.add(LSTM(50, input_shape=(X.shape[1], X.shape[2])))
model.add(Dense(1))
model.compile(loss='mae', optimizer='adam', metrics=['mae'])
# fit network
model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs=2, batch_size=10, 
validation_data=(X_test, y_test), shuffle=False)

And i got the below Loss:

297071/297071 [==============================] - 196s 661us/step - loss: 122.8202 - mean_absolute_error: 122.8202 - val_loss: 78.2440 - val_mean_absolute_error: 78.2440
Epoch 2/2
297071/297071 [==============================] - 196s 661us/step - loss: 122.3811 - mean_absolute_error: 122.3811 - val_loss: 78.4328 - val_mean_absolute_error: 78.4328

And the below predicted values:

-55.0 -45.222805
-105.0 -21.363165
29.0 -18.858946
-125.0 -34.27912
-134.0 20.847342
-108.0 30.286516
113.0 31.09069
-63.0 8.848535

Is it the architecture or the data ?
