RNN

Learn in the textbookTransfer of Learning and Representative Deep Learning Models

DefinitionRNN stands for Recurrent Neural Network, a deep learning model suited to data whose order matters, such as text, speech and time-series data.

ExplanationIt keeps information from processing the previous input inside itself and handles it together with the next input, so it can make judgments that take the flow so far into account. For example, it is used to predict the next word in a sentence, turn speech into text, and forecast what comes next from a sales trend.

Memory hookRecurrent is an English word for something that keeps happening again. The name comes straight from the way information circulates repeatedly inside the network.
