Machine Learning for Engineering & Science Applications | IIT Madras - #71 Why LSTM Works? | Machine Learning for Engineering & Science Applications

Welcome to 'Machine Learning for Engineering & Science Applications' course ! This lecture unveils the magic behind LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) networks and their effectiveness in tackling the vanishing gradient problem. We'll provide a simplified explanation of how the LSTM architecture mitigates this issue by creating alternate pathways for gradient flow. Drawing parallels with ResNet, we'll illustrate how skip connections facilitate gradient propagation through deeper layers.
