What Does RNN Mean?

homeAI termsRNN

The Quick Answer

RNN means "Recurrent Neural Networks."

More Observations...

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that can remember previous information in a sequence. This makes them useful for tasks like speech recognition and language modeling.

In Detail

RNNs are a class of artificial neural networks (ANN) designed for processing sequences of data. Unlike traditional "feedforward" networks, RNNs have connections looping back within the network, allowing information to persist. This architecture enables them to remember previous inputs in the sequence, making them suitable for tasks like speech recognition, language modeling, and time-series prediction. RNNs can be challenging to train, especially with long sequences, leading to problems like vanishing or exploding gradients. Variations like Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) networks have been developed to address these issues, making RNNs more effective and versatile.
