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.

What are you going to build?

 

Your first steps into the practical world of recurrent neural networks will be to build a simple model which determines the parity (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Parity.html) of a bit sequence . This is a warm-up exercise released by OpenAI in January 2018 (https://blog.openai.com/requests-for-research-2/). The task can be explained as follows: 

Given a binary string of a length of 50, determine whether there is an even or odd number of ones. If that number is even, output 0, otherwise 1.

Later in this chapter, we will give a detailed explanation of the solution, together with addressing the difficult parts and how to tackle them.
