🔄 Recurrent Neural Networks
🔎 Definition
A class of neural networks that allow previous outputs to be used as inputs to the next layers
They remember things they learned during training ✨
🧱 Architecture
🔶 The Whole RNN Architecture
🧩 An RNN Cell
Basic RNN cell. Takes as input $$x^{⟨t⟩}$$ (current input) and $$a^{⟨t−1⟩}$$ (previous hidden state containing information from the past), and outputs $$a^{⟨t⟩}$$ which is given to the next RNN cell and also used to predict $$y^{⟨t⟩}$$
⏩ Forward Propagation
To find $a^{}$ :
To find $\hat{y}^{}$ :
$$\hat{y}^{} = g(W_{ya}a^{}+b_y)$$

⏪ Back Propagation
Loss Function is defined like the following
$$L^{}(\hat{y}^{}, y^{})=-y^{}log(\hat{y})-(1-y^{})log(1-\hat{y}^{})$$
$$L(\hat{y},y)=\sum_{t=1}^{T_y}L^{}(\hat{y}^{}, y^{})$$

🔥 Advanced Recurrent Neural Networks
🔄 Bidirectional RNNs (BRNN)
In many applications we want to output a prediction of $$y^{(t)}$$ which may depend on the whole input sequence
Bidirectional RNNs combine an RNN that moves forward through time beginning from the start of the sequence with another RNN that moves backward through time beginning from the end of the sequence ✨
💬 In Other Words
Bidirectional recurrent neural networks(RNN) are really just putting two independent RNNs together.
The input sequence is fed in normal time order for one network, and in reverse time order for another.
The outputs of the two networks are usually concatenated at each time step.
🎉 This structure allows the networks to have both backward and forward information about the sequence at every time step.
👎 Disadvantages
We need the entire sequence of data before we can make prediction anywhere.
e.g: not suitable for real time speech recognition

🕸 Deep RNNs
The computation in most RNNs can be decomposed into three blocks of parameters and associated transformations: 1. From the input to the hidden state, $$x^{(t)}$$ ➡ $$a^{(t)}$$ 2. From the previous hidden state to the next hidden state, $$a^{(t-1)}$$ ➡ $$a^{(t)}$$ 3. From the hidden state to the output, $$a^{(t)}$$ ➡ $$y^{(t)}$$
We can use multiple layers for each of the above transformations, which results in deep recurrent networks 😋

❌ Problem: Vanishing Gradients with RNNs
An RNN that processes a sequence data with the size of 10,000 time steps, has 10,000 deep layers which is very hard to optimize 🙄
Same in Deep Neural Networks, deeper networks are getting into the vanishing gradient problem 🥽
That also happens with RNNs with a long sequence size 🐛
