Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs)

Last updated Apr 11, 2022 Edit Source

GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit) aims to solve the vanishing gradient problem which comes with a standard recurrent neural network. GRU can also be considered as a variation on the LSTM. GRU’s got rid of the cell state and used the hidden state to transfer information. It also only has two gates, a reset gate and update gate

• The update gate acts similar to the forget and input gate of an LSTM. It decides what information to throw away and what new information to add.
• The reset gate is another gate is used to decide how much past information to forget.
