AI's Memory: Understanding Sentences with RNNs

Recurrent Neural Networks for Sequences

To understand a sentence, you need to remember the words that came before. An RNN is like a summarizer that has already read the beginning of the sentence. It knows that in 'the dog chased its tail until it rolled away,' the second 'it' refers to the tail, not the dog. It can remember the context.

Real-World Example

When you type 'I am going to...', your phone's keyboard suggests 'the' or 'a' next. This is an RNN predicting the next word based on what you've already typed.
