Deep Learning For Sequential Data – Part V: Handling Long Term Temporal Dependencies

In the previous blog post, we learnt why we cannot use regular backpropagation to train a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). We discussed how we can use backpropagation through time to train an RNN. The next step is to understand how exactly the RNN can be trained. Does the unrolling strategy work in practice? If we … Continue reading Deep Learning For Sequential Data – Part V: Handling Long Term Temporal Dependencies

Deep Learning For Sequential Data – Part IV: Training Recurrent Neural Networks

In the previous blog post, we learnt how Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) can be used to build deep learning models for sequential data. Building a deep learning model involves many steps, and the training process is an important step. We should be able to train a model in a robust way in order to use it for … Continue reading Deep Learning For Sequential Data – Part IV: Training Recurrent Neural Networks

Deep Learning For Sequential Data – Part III: What Are Recurrent Neural Networks

In the previous two blog posts, we discussed why Hidden Markov Models and Feedforward Neural Networks are restrictive. If we want to build a good sequential data model, we should give more freedom to our learning model to understand the underlying patterns. This is where Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) come into picture. One of the … Continue reading Deep Learning For Sequential Data – Part III: What Are Recurrent Neural Networks
