Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
Professor Jürgen Schmidhuber, a pioneer in artificial intelligence, discussed his groundbreaking work on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks at the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai.
Key quotes
· 2 pulledBased on years of earlier research, Schmidhuber and his student Sepp Hochreiter published the architecture and training algorithms for Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks in 1997 in a journal.
This type of RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) is widely used by tech giants for applications in natural language processing, speech recognition, video games, and more, including Apple’s Siri and Google’s translation service.
