Abstract
In this paper we compare different types of recurrent units in recurrent neural networks (RNNs). Especially, we focus on more sophisticated units that implement a gating mechanism, such as a long short-term memory (LSTM) unit and a recently proposed gated recurrent unit (GRU). We evaluate these recurrent units on the tasks of polyphonic music modeling and speech signal modeling. Our experiments revealed that these advanced recurrent units are indeed better than more traditional recurrent units such as tanh units. Also, we found GRU to be comparable to LSTM.

Deep Learning

TL;DR: Deep learning as mentioned in this paper is a form of machine learning that enables computers to learn from experience and understand the world in terms of a hierarchy of concepts, and it is used in many applications such as natural language processing, speech recognition, computer vision, online recommendation systems, bioinformatics, and videogames.

LSTM: A Search Space Odyssey

TL;DR: This paper presents the first large-scale analysis of eight LSTM variants on three representative tasks: speech recognition, handwriting recognition, and polyphonic music modeling, and observes that the studied hyperparameters are virtually independent and derive guidelines for their efficient adjustment.

An Empirical Evaluation of Generic Convolutional and Recurrent Networks for Sequence Modeling

TL;DR: A systematic evaluation of generic convolutional and recurrent architectures for sequence modeling concludes that the common association between sequence modeling and recurrent networks should be reconsidered, and convolutionals should be regarded as a natural starting point for sequence modeled tasks.

Long short-term memory

TL;DR: A novel, efficient, gradient based method called long short-term memory (LSTM) is introduced, which can learn to bridge minimal time lags in excess of 1000 discrete-time steps by enforcing constant error flow through constant error carousels within special units.

Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to use a soft-searching model to find the parts of a source sentence that are relevant to predicting a target word, without having to form these parts as a hard segment explicitly.

Sequence to Sequence Learning with Neural Networks

TL;DR: This paper presents a general end-to-end approach to sequence learning that makes minimal assumptions on the sequence structure, and finds that reversing the order of the words in all source sentences improved the LSTM's performance markedly, because doing so introduced many short term dependencies between the source and the target sentence which made the optimization problem easier.

Learning long-term dependencies with gradient descent is difficult

TL;DR: This work shows why gradient based learning algorithms face an increasingly difficult problem as the duration of the dependencies to be captured increases, and exposes a trade-off between efficient learning by gradient descent and latching on information for long periods.
