LSTM Networks

Learn how Long Short Term Memory networks work as advanced recurrent neural networks designed to overcome challenges with long-term dependencies in sequence data. Understand the key components like cell state, gates, and hidden states, along with training techniques to address gradient problems.

LSTM Networks

LSTM stands for Long Short Term Memory and they are a special kind of RNN. They were introduced by Sepp Hochreiter and Jürgen Schmidhuber in 1997. They have proven to work very well on a large variety of problems in the field. They overcome the limitations of Naïve RNNs which fail to deal with long term dependencies in the sequences. In a simple RNN we have repeating blocks as shown in the figure below. This RNNcontains a single tanh layer.

We have the same chain like structure in LSTMs but the repeating module has a different structure in LSTMs. You can see this in the diagram below.

In the above diagram we have the following representations.

  • Each line carries a vector.

  • Pink circles ...
