Abstract

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are another specialized scheme of neural network architectures. RNNs are developed to solve learning problems where information about the past (i.e., past instants/events) is directly linked to making future predictions. Such sequential examples play up frequently in many real-world tasks such as language modeling where the previous words in the sentence are used to determine what the next word will be. Also in stock market prediction, the last hour/day/week stock prices define the future stock movement. RNNs are particularly tuned for time series or sequential tasks.
