Takeaways
- đ§ Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are primarily used for natural language processing (NLP) tasks, in contrast to Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) which are mainly used for image processing.
- đ RNNs are designed to handle sequence data where the order of elements matters, as opposed to traditional Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) which do not consider sequence order.
- đĄ Google's Gmail auto-complete feature is an example of an application of RNNs, demonstrating their ability to predict and complete sentences based on the context of previous words.
- đ Google Translate is another application of RNNs, showcasing their use in translating sentences from one language to another, highlighting the importance of sequence in language translation.
- đ Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a use case for RNNs where the network identifies and categorizes entities in a text, such as names of people, companies, and places.
- đ Sentiment Analysis is a task where RNNs can determine the sentiment of a product review, classifying it into categories like one star to five stars.
- đ One of the limitations of using ANNs for sequence modeling is the fixed size of input and output layers, which does not accommodate variable sentence lengths.
- đą The computational inefficiency of ANNs in sequence tasks is due to the need for one-hot encoding of words, which can lead to a very large input layer with many neurons.
- đ The lack of parameter sharing in ANNs when dealing with different sentence structures that convey the same meaning is another drawback, as RNNs can share parameters through their recurrent connections.
- đ RNNs maintain a 'memory' of previous inputs through their recurrent structure, allowing them to understand and process language with context, unlike ANNs.
- đ§ Training an RNN involves passing all training samples through the network multiple times (epochs), adjusting weights based on loss to minimize errors and improve predictions.

đ§ Introduction to Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for NLP
This paragraph introduces the concept of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and their primary application in natural language processing (NLP) tasks. It contrasts RNNs with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which are more suited for image processing. The speaker outlines various real-life applications of RNNs, such as Gmail's auto-complete feature, Google Translate, Named Entity Recognition (NER), and Sentiment Analysis. The importance of sequence in language is emphasized, and the limitations of using simple neural networks for sequence modeling problems are discussed, including issues with sentence size variability, neuron count, and computational efficiency.
đ Understanding the Working of RNNs in Named Entity Recognition
This section delves deeper into how RNNs work, using Named Entity Recognition (NER) as an example. It explains the process of converting words into vectors, typically through one-hot encoding, and then feeding these vectors into a neural network layer. The unique aspect of RNNs is their ability to maintain a memory of previous outputs, which is crucial for understanding the context in language. The paragraph illustrates how RNNs process words sequentially, carrying the context from previous words to inform the interpretation of subsequent words, thus effectively recognizing named entities within a text.
đ Deep Dive into RNN's Sequential Processing and Training
The paragraph further explains the sequential processing nature of RNNs, emphasizing the 'time travel' concept where the same layer of neurons is used repeatedly at different time steps to process a sequence of words. It clarifies that despite the appearance of multiple layers in the visual representation, there is essentially only one hidden layer that is being used over time.

Transcripts
So far in our deep learning tutorial
series we looked at
Artificial Neural Network and
Convolutional Neural Network which is
mainly used for image processing.
In this video we will talk about
Recurrent Neural Network which is used
mainly for
natural language processing tasks so if
you think about deep learning overall,
CNNs are mainly for images, RNNs are
mainly for
NLP. There are other use cases as well so
we'll understand
how Recurrent Neural Network works and
we'll look at different
applications of RNN in the field of NLP
as well as some other domains.
We will be looking at some real-life use
cases where
sequence models are useful. You must have
used
Google mail-Gmail. Here, when you type in
a sentence it will auto complete it. So
just see,
when I type "not interested at this time"
is something it auto completed.
So google has this RRN or Recurrent
Neural Network
embedded into it where, when you type in
a sentence "not interested at"
it will auto complete with "this time". If
you say "we'll let you know if it changes"
it will also say "in the future" so this
saves you time.
It will write the sentence for you.
Another use case is translation.
You must have used Google Translate
where you can translate
sentence from one to another language
easily.
Third use case is Named Entity
Recognization
where in the X you know you give Neural
Network a statement
and in the Y Neural Network will tell
you the person name
the company and time. Rudolph Smith must
be a millionaire with Tesla's
prices skyrocketing.
So these are various use cases where
using sequence models or
RNN-Recurrent Neural Network helps.
The fourth use case is Sentiment
Analysis where you have a paragraph and
it will tell you
the sentiment whether this product
review is One star, Two star
and so on. Now you would think -
Why can't we use a simple Neural Network
to solve this problem? See all these
problems
they are called Sequence Modeling
problem
because the sequence is important. When
it comes to human language
sequence is very important. For example
when you say, "how are you?" versus
"you are how" doesn't make sense,
right? So the sequence is important here
and you would
think - Why don't we use simple neural
network for that? Well,
let's try it. So for language translation
how about we build this kind of neural
network
we know where input is the English
statement and the output could be Hindi
statement
Once I build this network, what if my
sentence size changes? So i might be
inputting
different sentence size and with a fixed
neural network architecture it's not
going to work
because you have to decide how many
neurons are there in the input and
output layer.
So with language translation, number of
neurons
becomes a problem. Like what do you
decide as a size of neurons?
Now one would argue okay I would decide
let's say a
huge size let's say 100 neurons and
remaining
if I am saying, did you eat biryani? So it
will occupy 4 neuron.
Remaining 96 I will just say 0
or you know blank statement. That might
work
but still it's not ideal. The second
issue is too much computation.
You all know neural networks work
on numbers, they don't work on string.
So you have to convert your word into
a vector. So one of the ways of
converting that into a vector
is -l et's say there are 25000 words
in your vocabulary and you will do one
hot encoding
where you know "how" let's say is at 46th
position
"are" is let's say second position "you" is
let's say
at 17000th position. So at that position
you put 1,
remaining position you put 0 and that's
called
one hot encoding. You have to do similar
thing for output as well.
But you realize this will increase too
much computation.
Each of the word when you convert it to
a vector
you know how many neurons you need in
the input layer itself.
Its humongous. The third issue
is this - Sometimes when you translate
language
you for let's say two different English
statements you might have a
Hindi statement. So in this case
when I say "On sunday I ate golgappa"
let's say
I train this network based on this
statement
and then for 'On Sunday' let's say it will
adjust the weights of
all these edges which I have highlighted
in yellow color.
Same statement I can say differently. I
can say "I
ate golgappa on Sunday". So now on Sunday
the meaning of on Sunday
is same but here neural network has to
learn different set of edges you see all
these edges are in yellow color.
So the parameters are not shared.
We looked at in our Convolutional Neural
Network tutorial as well that by
using convolution operation we can share
the parameters.
Here, the use of
ANN or Artificial Neural Network doesn't
allow you to
do that okay. Also
the most important part in all this
discussion is the sequence.
See when you have structured data, for
example you're trying to figure out
if the transaction is fraud or not and
let's say
your features are transaction amount,
whether the transaction was made out of
country
or whether the SSN that customer
provided is correct or not.
Now here if you change the order of this
features, let's say 'ssn correct?' I supply
you know my first neuron
it's not going to affect anything you know because
the sequence in which you supply the
input doesn't matter.
Whereas if you have
English to Hindi
translation
and instead of saying "I ate golgappa on sunday'
and if I say 181 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:31,600 "I ate Sunday on golgappa" the meaning
becomes totally different. So now you
cannot say that
the Hindi translation is 'ravivar ko mene golgappe khaye"
because it becomes invalid so sequence
is very very important that's why
Artificial Neural Network doesn't work
in this case.
Just to summarize these are the three
major problems
with using ANN for sequence problems.
Let's once again talk about Named Entity
Recognition.
Let's say 'Dhaval loves baby yoda'
I love my baby grogu. I love Mandalorian
series and
we have got this nice baby grogu at
our home
which actually talks with us. In this
statement
Dhaval and baby yoda are person names,
okay.
So the whole purpose of Named Entity
Recognization is
to find out the
entity you know like 'Dhaval' as an entity
is a person 'baby yoda'
as an entity as a person so that's the
whole
goal of NER.
Now you can represent this as ones and
zero. So if the
word is person's name you would mark it as
one
and if it is not a person's name you would mark it as zero. so let's see how RNN works here. RNN is also called Recurrent Neural Network. so first of all you have to convert Dhaval into some vector. It doesn't matter how you convert 216 00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:01,680 it you can take a vocabulary and use one
hot encoding and there are other ways
of
vectorizing a word. Then
you have a layer of neurons. So these are
all individual neurons.
Let's say this is one layer. It's a
hidden layer
you supply that and you get one output
okay.
So each neuron all you know has a sigma
function
and activation function. So now while
processing the statement 'Dhaval loves
baby yoda'
now I will process it word by word.
So I supply 'Dhaval', get the output and
then I
go back again. Now I supply
'loves' converted into vector and the
previous output which I
got which was y Dhaval I now supply
that as an input to this
layer. So you see
the input of the layer is not only the
next word but the previous
output because
the language makes sense. Language needs
to carry the context
if I have just a word loss and if I
don't have Dhaval in front of it
it might mean a different thing. So there
is a context that you need
and this kind of architecture provides
your context or a memory.
In the third word again you supply 'baby'
to the same network right. So our network
has only one layer.
it has only one layer, so there is input
layer output layer and the hidden layer
is just one
and it has bunch of neurons. In that we
are repeatedly processing word
one by one okay
and you keep on doing this. Now the
benefit of this is
when i'm processing 'baby' when i get why
loves
that 'why loves' carries the state, the
previous state or previous memory
of 'Dhaval loves' you know the whole
statement.
Now i'm presenting this in a different
way make sure
these are not four different hidden
layers.
This is a time travel
okay so actual hidden layer is only one.
I am just doing a time travel. So first
when I supplied word 'Dhaval'
i got this output and output was nothing
but the activation function which I am
denoting with a1
and you need some previous activation a0
as well.
Let's say it's a vector of all zeros
then you supply second word
'loves' and use the previous output which
was yDhaval
so yDhaval and a1 they are
both same here
and then you get another output a2
where
that you supply along with the third
word 'baby'
to the same network. So these four
neurons it's the same
single layer. I am just showing
the status of it at different times okay.
So you have to be very clear on this
that these are not four different layers.
It's just one layer just because I am
showing different time steps that's why
I'm showing you almost a time travel
here
and once the network is trained
of course it will output like 'Dhaval' is
one 'loves' is zero 'baby' is one and so on
okay. So you get your NER output
individually here. One other way of
representing the same network
okay because just to avoid confusion and
to
make presentation little more clear. Many
times
in literature you will see presentation
like this -
Where each word which is an input comes
from the bottom
and there is activation. So again this
and these two diagrams are exactly same
okay
I'm just putting this word at the bottom.
Generic Representation of RNN is this.
So this is the real representation. You have
only one layer
and you are you are kind of almost in a
loop. You are
supplying the output of previous
word as an input to the second word.
So now let's talk about training. So
again
the problem we are talking about is NER
where these are my training samples okay
x and y. 'x' is a statement 'y' is whether
a given word is person name or not
so we are processing first training
sample 'Dhaval loves baby yoda'
so this one I will first
initialize my neural network weights
with some random values,
then I supply each word, then I calculate
y hat which is predicted
y, then I compare with the real y so real
y here
is 1 0 1 1 so I compare that with here
so 1
0 1 1 I compare that with y hat
and I find out the loss okay
and then I sum the loss.
So that will be my total loss. You all
know about grade and descent right. So we
compute the loss then we back propagate
the loss
and we adjust the weights. So now I take
the second statement
'Iron man punched on hulk's face'
he was very angry with hulk. Again i
calculate all the losses
then I find total loss and
then I do grid and decent to reduce the
loss.
So i keep on doing this for all my
training samples. Let's I have 100 training
samples.
Passing all hundred training samples
through this network will be one epoch.
We might do let's say 20 epochs and at
the end of the 20 epoch
my loss might become very minimum. At
that point we can say my neural network
is trained.
Let's take a look at language
translation. So in language translation
what happens is
you supply first word to your
network then you get the output
then again same network you supply
second word and the output from previous
step
as an input and of course when you
supply first where you have to
pass in some activation values let's say
all
a vector of all zeros.
Then you supply third word for fourth
word and so on
and when you're done with all the words
that's when the network starts to
translate it because
you cannot translate one word by one,
because after
the statement I can push maybe one more
word and that will just totally change
my translation.
That's why for language translation you
have to supply all the words and only
then
the network can translate for you.
So the network will translate it like
this
and the first part is called encoder
the second part is called decoder.
We will go
more in depth into all this but I want
to quickly demonstrate how
the neural network looks in the case of
language translation.
Now this layer doesn't have to be just
single layer. It can be a deep RNN as
well
where the actual network might have
multiple hidden layers
okay. So I hope that clarifies
the architecture behind RNN and you
understand why you can't use simple
neural network here and you have to use
specialized
neural network called RNN which can
memorize for you, which can
remember previous state because language
is
all about sequence. If you change the
sequence the meaning changes
so if you like this video please give
it a thumbs up
and we'll be having more Recurrent
Neural Network and NLP type
tutorials in the future videos
Thank you.
