Welcome to the LSTM examples section! Here, we'll explore practical implementations of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks in deep learning. LSTMs are a type of recurrent neural network (RNN) designed to handle sequential data effectively. Let's dive into key concepts and code examples.

🧠 What is LSTM?

LSTMs address the vanishing gradient problem in traditional RNNs by using gating mechanisms (input, forget, output gates) to regulate information flow. This makes them ideal for tasks like:

  • Time series prediction
  • Natural language processing
  • Sequence generation

📚 Example: Time Series Forecasting

Here's a simple LSTM model for stock price prediction using TensorFlow/Keras:

import numpy as np
from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential
from tensorflow.keras.layers import LSTM, Dense

# Generate synthetic data
data = np.random.rand(1000, 1).astype(np.float32)
labels = np.sin(data * np.pi * 2) + np.random.normal(0, 0.1, data.shape)

# Build model
model = Sequential([
    LSTM(50, activation='tanh', input_shape=(data.shape[1], 1)),
    Dense(1)
])
model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='mse')
model.fit(data, labels, epochs=20, batch_size=32)
