Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are a class of artificial neural networks designed to handle sequential data by maintaining a memory of prior inputs. Unlike traditional feedforward networks, RNNs use loops to process data, making them ideal for tasks like language modeling, time series prediction, and speech recognition. 📈

🔍 Key Features of RNNs

  • Temporal Dynamics: Process inputs sequentially, maintaining state across time steps
  • Hidden State Mechanism: Captures context from previous elements in the sequence
  • Variants: Includes LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) and GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit) for better performance
  • Applications: Text generation, machine translation, sentiment analysis, and more

🌐 Common Use Cases

  • Natural Language Processing (NLP): Understanding context in sentences
  • Speech Recognition: Converting audio signals into text
  • Time Series Forecasting: Predicting future values based on historical data
