Introduction
We have an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. The input layer takes the input, activations functions are applied to the hidden layer, and finally, we receive the output.
In a deep neural network where multiple hidden layers are present. Each hidden layer is known by its weights and biases.
The weights and biases of these hidden layers are different. Hence each of these layers behaves differently/independently and so that we can’t combine them together. We should have the same weights and biases for these hidden layers to bind these hidden layers together.
Now we can combine these layers together because the weights and bias of all the hidden layers are the same now. All these hidden layers can be bound together in one single recurrent layer.
There are three types of Deep Neural Networks:
1. Artificial Neural Network
2. Convolutional Neural Network
3. Recurrent Neural Network
In this article, we will be focusing on Recurrent Neural Networks.
What are RNNs?
– A series of feed-forward neural networks in which the hidden nodes are connected in series.
– RNN has multiple series predictions, unlike CNN.

Types of RNNs
1. One to One: This is also called Vanilla Neural Network. It is used in such machine learning problems where it has a single input and single output
2. One to Many: It has a single input and multiple outputs. An example is Music Generation
3. Many to One: RNN takes a sequence of inputs and produces a single output. The examples are Sentiment classification, prediction of the next word.
4. Many to Many: RNN takes a sequence of inputs and produces a sequence of outputs. For example, Language Translation.
Improvements to RNN
– RNNs have a problem called vanishing gradient descent
– Hence there are two improvements over it
1.Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU)
2.Long Short Term Memory (LSTM))
– Among these more popular is LSTM more often used in time series
forecasting also.
Vanishing Gradient Problem
Before we build our first RNN, we need to understand the vanishing gradient problem. Let’s take a quick look at Vanishing Gradient Problem.
What is the Vanishing Gradient Problem?
The Vanishing Gradient Problem was discovered by Sepp Hochreiter, who is a German computer scientist who also had a role in the development of Recurrent Neural Networks in deep learning.
As its name says, the vanishing gradient problem is related to deep learning gradient descent algorithms. The gradient descent algorithm is then combined with a backpropagation algorithm to update the weights throughout the Neural Network. Recurrent neural network behaves a little differently due to the hidden layer of one observation is used to train the hidden layer of the next observation.
This vanishing gradient problem occurs when the backpropagation algorithm moves back through all the neurons of the neural network to update their weights.
Initialization of weights is one of the techniques that can be used to solve the Vanishing Gradient Problem. That is creating an initial value for weights in a neural network to prevent the backpropagation algorithm from assigning weights that are small.
Applications(Some of) of RNN
– Speech Recognition: Anyone speaking with a particular language, gets translated into different languages. And also voice is recognized by the machine.
– Language Translation: Using RNN, Text mining and Sentiment analysis can be carried out for Natural Language Processing (NLP).
– Image Recognition and its characterization: RNNs are used to capture an image by analyzing the present activities.
– Time Series Forecasting: Any time series forecasting problem, such as predicting the prices of stocks in a particular month/year, can be solved using an RNN.
Implementation Of RNN
Let us look at how to implement Time Series Forecasting using LSTM(Long Short Term Memory).
Now we will import some basic libraries to perform data frame functions.
Here I have used a dataset of Google Stock Price. You can download the dataset using this link. So there are two files in the given dataset as google_stock_price_train.csv and google_stock_price_test.csv. So first here we are going to take the training file.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
dataset_train = pd.read_csv('Google_Stock_Price_Train.csv')
print(dataset_train.shape)
training_set = dataset_train.iloc[:, 1:2].values
Next, we have to perform normalization of data using scaling. Our data will be scaled into a specific format. So we need the MinMaxScaler library as well.
from sklearn.preprocessing import MinMaxScaler sc = MinMaxScaler(feature_range = (0, 1)) training_set_scaled = sc.fit_transform(training_set)
Now, we create a data structure with 60 timesteps and one output as an Array of x_train and y_train.
X_train = []
y_train = []
for i in range(60, 1258):
X_train.append(training_set_scaled[i-60:i, 0])
y_train.append(training_set_scaled[i, 0])
X_train, y_train = np.array(X_train), np.array(y_train)
Here we have done reshaping of x_train data.
X_train = np.reshape(X_train, (X_train.shape[0], X_train.shape[1], 1))
Now, the following libraries are required for building the RNN model and perform its operations. We have imported the Keras library and its packages.
from keras.models import Sequential from keras.layers import Dense from keras.layers import LSTM from keras.layers import Dropout
Let’s initialize our RNN.
regressor = Sequential()
Now, add the first layer of LSTM and some Dropout regularisation
regressor.add(LSTM(units = 50, return_sequences = True, input_shape = (X_train.shape[1], 1))) regressor.add(Dropout(0.2))
Now, add the second layer of LSTM and some Dropout regularisation
regressor.add(LSTM(units = 50, return_sequences = True)) regressor.add(Dropout(0.2))
Now, add the third layer of LSTM and some Dropout regularisation
regressor.add(LSTM(units = 50, return_sequences = True)) regressor.add(Dropout(0.2))
Now, add the fourth layer of LSTM and some Dropout regularisation
regressor.add(LSTM(units = 50)) regressor.add(Dropout(0.2))
Let’s add an output layer.
regressor.add(Dense(units = 1))
Next, we will compile our RNN model here.
regressor.compile(optimizer = 'adam', loss = 'mean_squared_error')
We are using a training dataset to fit the RNN model.
regressor.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs = 100, batch_size = 32)

Now our next part is to predict stock prices and visualize their results. Here we have used the real stock price of 2017 with data of google_stock_price.csv.
dataset_test = pd.read_csv('Google_Stock_Price_Test.csv')
real_stock_price = dataset_test.iloc[:, 1:2].values
Getting the predicted stock price of 2017
dataset_total = pd.concat((dataset_train['Open'], dataset_test['Open']), axis = 0)
inputs = dataset_total[len(dataset_total) - len(dataset_test) - 60:].values
inputs = inputs.reshape(-1,1)
inputs = sc.transform(inputs)
X_test = []
for i in range(60, 80):
X_test.append(inputs[i-60:i, 0])
X_test = np.array(X_test)
X_test = np.reshape(X_test, (X_test.shape[0], X_test.shape[1], 1))
predicted_stock_price = regressor.predict(X_test)
predicted_stock_price = sc.inverse_transform(predicted_stock_price)
The final step is to visualize our data results using the matplotlib library.
plt.plot(real_stock_price, color = 'red', label = 'Real Google Stock Price')
plt.plot(predicted_stock_price, color = 'blue', label = 'Predicted Google Stock Price')
plt.title('Google Stock Price Prediction')
plt.xlabel('Time')
plt.ylabel('Google Stock Price')
plt.legend()
plt.show()
Shown image is a graph plotted by the above code.
