Gentle introduction to the Encoder-Decoder LSTMs for sequence-to-sequence prediction with example Python code. The Encoder-Decoder LSTM is a recurrent neural network designed to address sequence-to-sequence problems, sometimes called seq2seq. Sequence-to-sequence prediction problems are challenging because the number of items in the input and output sequences can vary. For example, text translation and learning to execute […]
Gentle introduction to CNN LSTM recurrent neural networks with example Python code. Input with spatial structure, like images, cannot be modeled easily with the standard Vanilla LSTM. The CNN Long Short-Term Memory Network or CNN LSTM for short is an LSTM architecture specifically designed for sequence prediction problems with spatial inputs, like images or videos. […]
Gentle introduction to the Stacked LSTM with example code in Python. The original LSTM model is comprised of a single hidden LSTM layer followed by a standard feedforward output layer. The Stacked LSTM is an extension to this model that has multiple hidden LSTM layers where each layer contains multiple memory cells. In this post, […]
Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks are one of the most interesting types of deep learning at the moment. They have been used to demonstrate world-class results in complex problem domains such as language translation, automatic image captioning, and text generation. LSTMs are different to multilayer Perceptrons and convolutional neural networks in that they […]
Neural networks like Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks are able to almost seamlessly model problems with multiple input variables. This is a great benefit in time series forecasting, where classical linear methods can be difficult to adapt to multivariate or multiple input forecasting problems. In this tutorial, you will discover how you can […]
Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Recurrent Neural Networks are a powerful type of deep learning suited for sequence prediction problems. A possible concern when using LSTMs is if the added complexity of the model is improving the skill of your model or is in fact resulting in lower skill than simpler models. In this post, you […]
The Keras library provides a way to calculate and report on a suite of standard metrics when training deep learning models. In addition to offering standard metrics for classification and regression problems, Keras also allows you to define and report on your own custom metrics when training deep learning models. This is particularly useful if […]
Running large deep learning processes on Amazon Web Services EC2 is a cheap and effective way to learn and develop models. For just a few dollars you can get access to tens of gigabytes of RAM, tens of CPU cores, and multiple GPUs. I highly recommend it. If you are new to EC2 or the […]
Machine learning experiments can take a long time. Hours, days, and even weeks in some cases. This gives you a lot of time to think and plan for additional experiments to perform. In addition, the average applied machine learning project may require tens to hundreds of discrete experiments in order to find a data preparation […]
Keras is a Python deep learning library that can use the efficient Theano or TensorFlow symbolic math libraries as a backend. Keras is so easy to use that you can develop your first Multilayer Perceptron, Convolutional Neural Network, or LSTM Recurrent Neural Network in minutes. You may have technical questions when you get started using […]
