Networks (RNNs)
Recurrent Neural Networks
(RNNs)
• Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) differ from regular neural
networks in how they process information. While standard neural
networks pass information in one direction i.e. from input to output,
RNNs feed information back into the network at each step
• Ever wonder how chatbots understand your questions or how apps
like Siri and voice search can decipher your spoken requests? The
secret weapon behind these impressive feats is a type of artificial
intelligence called Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs).
• Unlike standard neural networks that excel at tasks like image
recognition, RNNs boast a unique superpower – memory! This
internal memory allows them to analyze sequential data, where the
information order is crucial. Imagine having a conversation – you need
to remember what was said earlier to understand the current flow.
Similarly, RNNs can analyze sequences like speech or text, making
them perfect for machine translation and voice recognition tasks.
Although RNNs have been around since the 1980s, recent
advancements like Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and the
explosion of big data have unleashed their true potential.
• Recurrent neural network (RNN) is more like Artificial Neural
Networks (ANN) that are mostly employed in speech recognition
and natural language processing (NLP). Deep learning and the
construction of models that mimic the activity of neurons in the
human brain uses RNN.
• Text, genomes, handwriting, the spoken word, and numerical time
series data from sensors, stock markets, and government agencies
are examples of data that recurrent networks are meant to identify
patterns in. A recurrent neural network resembles a regular neural
network with the addition of a memory state to the neurons. A
simple memory will be included in the computation.
