Recurrent Neural Networks - Full Stack Deep Learning - Spring 2021

Dive deep into Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) in this comprehensive lecture from the Full Stack Deep Learning Spring 2021 series. Explore sequence problems before delving into the RNN architecture, addressing its challenges and solutions. Examine a case study on Machine Translation at Google, and learn about the CTC loss function crucial for lab work. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of RNNs, and get a preview of non-recurrent sequence models. Topics covered include sequence problems, RNN review, vanishing gradient issues, LSTMs and variants, bidirectionality and attention in Google's Neural Machine Translation, CTC loss, pros and cons of encoder-decoder LSTM architectures, and an introduction to WaveNet.
