Simeon Kostadinoff works for a startup called Speechify which aims to help people go through their readings faster by converting any text into speech. Simeon is Machine Learning enthusiast who writes a blog and works on various projects on the side. He enjoys reading different research papers and implement some of them in code. He was ranked number 1 in mathematics during his senior year of high school and thus he has deep passion about understanding how the deep learning models work under the hood. His specific knowledge in Recurrent Neural Networks comes from several courses that he has taken at Stanford University and University of Birmingham. They helped in understanding how to apply his theoretical knowledge into practice and build powerful models. In addition, he recently became a Stanford Scholar Initiative which includes working in a team of Machine Learning researchers on a specific deep learning research paper.

Summary

In this chapter, we introduce the recurrent neural network model using theoretical explanations together with a particular example. The aim is to grasp the fundamentals of this powerful system so you can understand the programming exercises better. Overall, the chapter included the following:

  • A brief introduction to RNNs
  • The difference between RNNs and other popular models
  • Illustrating the use of RNNs through an example
  • The main problems with a standard RNN

In the next chapter, we will go over our first practical exercise using recurrent neural networks. You will get to know the popular TensorFlow library, which makes it easy to build machine learning models. The next section will give you a nice first hands-on experience and prepare you for solving more difficult problems.
