Abstract: This paper compares Transformer architectures (Bisection Transformer, Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), Robustly Optimized BERT Approach (RoBERTa)), Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), deep learning (Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU)), and Nonlinear AutoRegressive Moving Average with eXogenous (NARMAX) in forecasting the Disturbance storm-time (Dst) index using solar wind parameters. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of selecting a specific model for the 5- to 100-step-ahead forecasting horizon across various algorithmic approaches in operational space weather forecasting and geomagnetic storm prediction. In these tests, NARMAX has the lowest Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 14.723 at a horizon of 5 for short-term forecasting, but this decreases at longer horizons. In contrast, GAN exhibits consistent performance with minimal decline, increasing RMSE by 7.5% from horizons 5 to 100. Meanwhile, RoBERTa outperforms in the medium-term, achieving its best performance between horizons 20 and 50. Statistical analysis shows that the Transformer architecture outperforms deep learning at longer time horizons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
