Welcome to the Practical RNNs guide! Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are powerful tools for sequential data processing. Let's dive into the essentials:

What Are RNNs?

RNNs are designed to handle sequences by maintaining a "memory" of prior inputs. They're ideal for tasks like:

  • Time series prediction
  • Sentiment analysis
  • Machine translation

🧠 Key Feature: Unlike traditional neural networks, RNNs have loops that allow information to persist.

Getting Started

  1. Install Dependencies 

    pip install tensorflow

  2. Basic Structure

  3. Simple Example 

    import tensorflow as tf
model = tf.keras.Sequential([
    tf.keras.layers.SimpleRNN(16, input_shape=(None, 1)),
    tf.keras.layers.Dense(1)
])
