The Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network in Keras supports multiple input features. This raises the question as to whether lag observations for a univariate time series can be used as features for an LSTM and whether or not this improves forecast performance. In this tutorial, we will investigate the use of lag observations as features […]
The Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network in Keras supports time steps. This raises the question as to whether lag observations for a univariate time series can be used as time steps for an LSTM and whether or not this improves forecast performance. In this tutorial, we will investigate the use of lag observations as time […]
A benefit of using neural network models for time series forecasting is that the weights can be updated as new data becomes available. In this tutorial, you will discover how you can update a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network with new data for time series forecasting. After completing this tutorial, you will know: […]
Configuring neural networks is difficult because there is no good theory on how to do it. You must be systematic and explore different configurations both from a dynamical and an objective results point of a view to try to understand what is going on for a given predictive modeling problem. In this tutorial, you will […]
Long Short-Term Memory networks, or LSTMs, are a powerful type of recurrent neural network capable of learning long sequences of observations. A promise of LSTMs is that they may be effective at time series forecasting, although the method is known to be difficult to configure and use for these purposes. A key feature of LSTMs […]
The Long Short-Term Memory recurrent neural network has the promise of learning long sequences of observations. It seems a perfect match for time series forecasting, and in fact, it may be. In this tutorial, you will discover how to develop an LSTM forecast model for a one-step univariate time series forecasting problem. After completing this […]

The backpropagation algorithm is used in the classical feed-forward artificial neural network. It is the technique still used to train large deep learning networks. In this tutorial, you will discover how to implement the backpropagation algorithm for a neural network from scratch with Python. After completing this tutorial, you will know: How to forward-propagate an […]
This is a truly excellent hands-on, no-nonsense book on deep learning. If you want to quickly jump into the bandwagon of deep learning without having to worry about the nuts and bolts, the linear algebra, calculus, etc, this is the book. The author’s decision to pick TensorFlow is also a very wise one. Data scientists […]
