Summary

In this chapter, we discussed the fundamentals of RNNs and one of their main variations, LSTM. We then demonstrated how you can build your own RNN from scratch and deploy it on the cloud-based platform Heroku. While RNNs are often used for deep learning on NLP tasks, they are by no means the only neural network architecture suitable for this task.

In the next chapter, we will look at convolutional neural networks and show how they can be used for NLP learning tasks.
