RNNs and LSTMs from Scratch — Why Learn Them in the Transformer Era
Start from one idea — read a sequence one step at a time while carrying a state — then work out why multiplying the same matrix over and over kills the gradient, and what the three LSTM gates actually fixed. Ends with why Transformers took over, and where this recurrent idea still wins.
