Sequence Modeling: A Comprehensive Guide

Sequence modeling is a fundamental concept in machine learning, particularly in natural language processing (NLP), time series analysis, and speech recognition. It involves learning patterns from sequential data, such as text, audio, or temporal sequences, to make predictions or generate outputs. Below are key topics and resources to explore:

Core Concepts

• Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) 🧠
  Classic models for sequential data, though limited by vanishing gradients.
  

  

  RNN

• Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) 📈
  An advanced RNN variant that mitigates vanishing gradients.
  

  

  LSTM

• Transformer Architecture 🔄
  State-of-the-art model using self-attention mechanisms.
