Although neural networks have been studied for decades, over the past couple of years there have been many small but significant changes in the default techniques used. For example, ReLU (rectified ...

Microsoft Research data scientist Dr. James McCaffrey explains what neural network Glorot initialization is and why it's the default technique for weight initialization. In this article I explain what ...

Two important architectures are Artificial Neural Networks and Long Short-Term Memory networks. LSTM networks are especially useful for financial applications because they are designed to work with ...
