01. Intro to LSTM

Hi! It's Luis again!

Now that you've gone through the Recurrent Neural Network lesson , I'll be teaching you what an LSTM is. This stands for Long Short Term Memory Networks , and are quite useful when our neural network needs to switch between remembering recent things, and things from long time ago. But first, I want to give you some great references to study this further. There are many posts out there about LSTMs, here are a few of my favorites:

• Chris Olah's LSTM post
• Edwin Chen's LSTM post
• Andrej Karpathy's lecture on RNNs and LSTMs from CS231n

So, let's dig in!
