What are the different variants of RNNs?

There are several variants of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), including LSTM, GRU, and Bidirectional RNNs. Would you like to know more about any specific type?

Can you explain LSTM and how it differs from standard RNNs?

LSTM, or Long Short-Term Memory, networks are designed to overcome the vanishing gradient problem in standard RNNs. They use memory cells to maintain information over long periods.

What about GRUs? How do they compare to LSTMs?

Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) are similar to LSTMs but have a simpler architecture. They combine the forget and input gates into a single update gate, making them computationally more efficient.

Are there any specific use cases where one is preferred over the other?

Yes, LSTMs are often preferred for tasks requiring long-term dependencies, like language modeling, while GRUs are used in scenarios where computational efficiency is crucial.
