RNNs: Why Not Standard Networks?
In this article, I discuss the motivations behind the requirement of Recurrent Neural Networks outlining why we need them in the first place. This article is the second in the Sequence Models series. The next article discusses RNNs in greater detail. Basically, there are a couple of main problems that come up when using Standard…

Sequence Models
Sequence models are a class of machine learning models designed for the tasks that involve sequential data, where the order of elements in the input is important. There are many kinds of sequential data, like textual data, time series data, audio signals, video streams or any ordered data. These sequences are usually of varying lengths…

Configuring A Virtual Environment In Python
In my previous article, I mentioned installing virtualenv to isolate environments and using them instead of using the global python environment for specific projects. The process of installing and configuring virtual environments is fairly easy, but I instructed you guys to follow Corey Schafer’s video in order to do so. Well, here I explain similar…
