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 is an LSTM network?

LSTM (long short-term memory) network is an advanced RNN network that aims to solve the vanishing gradient problem and yield excellent results on longer sequences. In the previous chapter, we introduced the GRU network, which is a simpler version of LSTM. Both include memory states that determine what information should be propagated further at each timestep. The LSTM cell looks as follows:

Let's introduce the main equations that will clarify the preceding diagram. They are similar to the ones for gated recurrent units (see Chapter 3, Generating Your Own Book Chapter). Here is what happens at every given timestep, t:

 is the output gate, which determines what exactly is important for the current prediction and what information should be kept around for the future.  is called the input gate, and determines...
