Introduction

Due to the drawbacks of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) when it comes to backpropagation, Long Short-Term Memory Units (LSTMs) and Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) have been gaining popularity in recent times when it comes to learning sequential input data as they are better suited to tackle problems of vanishing and exploding gradients.

Ravindra

Amrith Ravindra is a machine learning enthusiast who holds degrees in electrical and industrial engineering. While pursuing his masters, he dove deeper into the world of machine learning and developed a love for data science. Graduate-level courses in engineering gave him the mathematical background to launch himself into a career in machine learning. He met Ahmed Sherif at a local data science meetup in Tampa. They decided to put their brains together to write a book on their favorite machine learning algorithms. He hopes this book will help him achieve his ultimate goal of becoming a data scientist and actively contributing to machine learning.
