Question

Explain the importance of LSTM.

Answer 1

LSTM stands for Long short-term memory. It is an artificial RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) architecture, which is used in the field of deep learning. LSTM has feedback connections which makes it a "general purpose computer." It can process not only a single data point but also entire sequences of data.

They are a special kind of RNN which are capable of learning long-term dependencies.
