This podcast episode explores different aspects of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and their applications in natural language processing (NLP) tasks, stock market predictions, and time series analysis. The host discusses the types of neural networks, including RNNs, and introduces solutions to the vanishing and exploding gradient problem, such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs). The episode also covers the differences between reinforcement learning and supervised learning, and how they can be applied in stock market predictions. Additionally, the episode explains the concepts of bi-directional RNNs, sequence-to-sequence models, encoder-decoder RNNs, and the limitations and benefits of using LSTM cells in RNNs.
