Deep Learning with C++
By :
This chapter explored RNNs and LSTM networks for processing sequential data in C++. We examined how standard RNNs maintain temporal dependencies but suffer from vanishing gradients, and how LSTMs overcome this limitation through gating mechanisms—forget, input, and output gates—that selectively manage information flow through a cell state.
We progressed through three implementation approaches: vector-based for clarity, Eigen-based for efficiency, and LibTorch for production deployment with automatic differentiation and GPU acceleration. These implementations were applied to practical NLP tasks, including text prediction and neural machine translation using encoder-decoder architectures.
The chapter covered essential text processing techniques—tokenization strategies, BPE, and Word2Vec embeddings—along with training methods like BPTT, gradient clipping, and truncated BPTT. You now have the foundation to build and train sophisticated sequential...
