Recurrent Neural Networks: The Powerhouse of Language Modeling
During the spring semester of my junior year in college, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark. I had never been to Europe before that, so I was incredibly excited to immerse into a new culture, meet new people, travel to new places, and, most important, encounter a new language. Now although English is not my native language (Vietnamese is), I have learned and spoken it since early childhood that it has become second-nature. Danish, on the other hand, is an incredibly complicated language with very different sentence structure and grammatical made-ups. Before my trip, I tried to learn a bit of Danish using the app Duolingo; however, I only got a hold of simple phrases such as Hello (Hej) and Good Morning (God Morgen).
