Week 14 is here! During this week, we are going to learn about Recurrent Neural Networks, which were developed to model sequential data, from time-series to human language. Our primary application will be language, and RNNs and their NLP applications will be a stepping-stone to pre-trained models. In addition to RNNs, we will learn about an important variant called LSTM that is more commonly used, and about word embeddings which enable more efficient training.

You can read more about the plan for the week and the reading/resources in Module 14.

Lab 8 is not yet available (it is being adjusted to accomodate the extension on Lab 7).
