The Power of Recurrent Neural Networks

…and how they allow us to learn almost any dynamical system given the right data

With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk.
John von Neumann

Neural networks have come to dominate modern AI Research in recent years, and with good cause: they have provided powerful tools in extracting complex patterns from data, be it when classifying or generating images, aiding in medical diagnosis or processing natural language.
