+Till now our focus has been, including convolutional neural networks +as well, on feedforward neural networks. The output or the activations +flow only in one direction, from the input layer to the output layer. + +
+A recurrent neural network (RNN) looks very much like a feedforward +neural network, except that it also has connections pointing +backward. + +
+RNNs are used to analyze time series data such as stock prices, and +tell you when to buy or sell. In autonomous driving systems, they can +anticipate car trajectories and help avoid accidents. More generally, +they can work on sequences of arbitrary lengths, rather than on +fixed-sized inputs like all the nets we have discussed so far. For +example, they can take sentences, documents, or audio samples as +input, making them extremely useful for natural language processing +systems such as automatic translation and speech-to-text. + +

+The way the recurrent neural networks are trained in this program +differs from how machine learning algorithms are usually trained. +Typically a machine learning algorithm is trained by learning the +relationship between the x data and the y data. In this program, the +recurrent neural network will be trained to recognize the relationship +in a sequence of y values. This is type of data formatting is +typically used time series forcasting, but it can also be used in any +extrapolation (time series forecasting is just a specific type of +extrapolation along the time axis). This method of data formatting +does not use the x data and assumes that the y data are evenly spaced. + +
+For a standard machine learning algorithm, the training data has the +form of (x,y) so the machine learning algorithm learns to assiciate a +y value with a given x value. This is useful when the test data has x +values within the same range as the training data. However, for this +application, the x values of the test data are outside of the x values +of the training data and the traditional method of training a machine +learning algorithm does not work as well. For this reason, the +recurrent neural network is trained on sequences of y values of the +form ((y1, y2), y3), so that the network is concerned with learning +the pattern of the y data and not the relation between the x and y +data. As long as the pattern of y data outside of the training region +stays relatively stable compared to what was inside the training +region, this method of training can produce accurate extrapolations to +y values far removed from the training data set. + +

+Changing the size of the recurrent neural network and its parameters +can drastically change the results you get from the model.
