Hi! It's Jay

Hi again!
This section will get you ready for the upcoming Machine Translation project.

In the project, you'll be able to build a model that does machine translation. To be more specific, you'll be building 4 models, which are:

  • A simple RNN.
  • An RNN with embedding.
  • A bidirectional RNN.
  • (Optional) An encoder-decoder model.

In the following lab, we'll practice how to build the first model, a simple RNN in Keras. The one difference between this lab and the project is that in the lab, the RNN will process inputs and outputs on a character basis, whereas the RNN in the project will process them on a word basis.

But before that, let's look at some of the technical details of using RNNs for Machine Translation.
