In this paper, we adopt the block-circulant matrix-based framework, and present the Efficient RNN (E-RNN) framework for FPGA implementations of the Automatic
The key innovation in an RNN is the recurrent connection: the hidden state at time step ttt depends not only on the current input xt\mathbf{x}\_txt but also on the hidden state from the previous time step ht−1\mathbf{h}\_{t-1}ht−1. In an RNN, the hidden state ht\mathbf{h}\_tht is a vector that summarizes all information the network has processed up to time step ttt. It is computed from the current input xt\mathbf{x}\_txt and the previous hidden state ht−1\mathbf{h}\_{t-1}ht−1, and it is passed to the next time step. In practice, truncation lengths of 50 to 200 tokens are common, and the model learns to encode important information in the hidden state in ways that remain useful even when gradients are truncated. At each time step ttt, the network receives the embedding of the current token xt\mathbf{x}\_txt and updates its hidden state. The `nn.RNN` layer processes the embedded sequence and returns both the sequence of hidden states (one per time step) and the final hidden state.
A practical and theory-based guide to Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architectures — Simple RNNs, LSTM, GRU, Bidirectional and more.
Recurrent neural network (RNN) is a specialized neural network with feedback connection for processing sequential data or time-series data in which the output obtained is fed back into it as input along with the new input at every time step. In 1997, one of the most popular RNN architectures, the long short-term memory (LSTM) network which can process long sequences, was proposed. proposed a novel solution composed of GRU-RNN layers with attention mechanism by including switching decoder in their abstractive summarizer architecture [28] where the text generator module has a switch which can enable the module to choose between two options: (1) generate a word from the vocabulary and (2) point to one of the words in the input text. In 2014, many-to-many RNN-based encoder–decoder architecture was proposed where one RNN encodes the input sequence of text to a fixed-length vector representation, while another RNN decodes the fixed-length vector to the target translated sequence [30].

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are a class of neural networks designed to process sequential data by retaining information from previous steps. The fundamental processing unit in RNN is a Recurrent Unit****.**** They hold a hidden state that maintains information about previous inputs in a sequence. This unrolling enables backpropagation through time (BPTT) a learning process where errors are propagated across time steps to adjust the network’s weights enhancing the RNN’s ability to learn dependencies within sequential data. In RNNs the hidden state H\_i is calculated for every input X\_i to retain sequential dependencies. ### Updating the Hidden State in RNNs. The current hidden state h\_t depends on the previous state h\_{t-1} and the current input x\_t and is calculated using the following relations:. Since RNNs process sequential data, Backpropagation Through Time (BPTT) is used to update the network's parameters. * ****Sequential Memory****: RNNs retain information from previous inputs making them ideal for time-series predictions where past data is crucial.
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are well-suited for processing sequences of data. As we have already seen, Recurrent Neural Networks are a type of Neural Networks that have an internal memory and function in a way such that the outputs from previous time steps are taken as inputs for the current time step as shown in the below figure. A simplified way of representing the Recurrent Neural Network is by unfolding/unrolling the RNN over the input sequence. Traditional Neural networks have independent input and output layers, which make them incompetent when dealing with sequential data. This training becomes all the more complex in Recurrent Neural Networks processing sequential time-sequence data as the model backpropagate the gradients through all the hidden layers and also through time. Thus back propagation makes the gradient either explodes or vanishes, and the neural network doesn’t learn much from the data, which is far from the current position. Recurrent Neural Networks, or RNNs, are a specialized class of neural networks used to process sequential data.
