Deep Learning with Python (Video 14)

The video tutorial introduces recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and their applications, particularly in handling sequential data like text. It explains how to use Theano, a Python library, to implement for loops and generate a Fibonacci sequence. The tutorial further delves into using Theano's scan module for sequence generation, detailing the process of compiling and executing Theano functions. The video concludes with a demonstration of how to format Python for loops for easy translation into Theano implementations.
