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.

Improving your RNN model

When working on a problem using RNN (or any other network), your process looks like this:

First, you come up with an idea for the model, its hyperparameters, the number of layers, how deep the network should be, and so on. Then the model is implemented and trained in order to produce some results. Finally, these results are assessed and the necessary modifications are made. It is rarely the case that you'll receive meaningful results from the first run. This cycle may occur multiple times until you are satisfied with the outcome. 

Considering this approach, one important question comes to mind: How can we change the model so the next cycle produces better results?

This question is tightly connected to your understanding of the network's results. Let's discuss that now. 

As you already know, in the beginning of each...
