Understanding LSTM Networks Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks are a type of recurrent neural network (RNN) designed to address the vanishing gradient problem in traditional RNNs. They are particularly effective for processing and predicting time series data, making them valuable in various applications such as natural language processing, speech recognition, and financial forecasting.

These gates work together to regulate the flow of information through the cell, allowing it to selectively remember or forget information over long periods. Swipe next —>save for later Jl] The Forget Gate The forget gate determines which information from the previous cell state should be discarded. It takes the current input and the previous hidden state as inputs and outputs a value between 0 and 1 for each number in the cell state. Swipe next —>save for later Jl] The Input Gate The input gate decides which new information should be stored in the cell state. It consists of two parts: a sigmoid layer that determines which values to update, and a tanh layer that creates new candidate values to be added to the state.

It uses a sigmoid function to determine which parts of the cell state to output, and then multiplies it by a tanh of the cell state.
