What is Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) and How Does It Work?

In general, LSTM is a recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture that operates on time-ordered incoming data. Before we start analyzing LSTM networks, it is useful to understand the recurrent neural network (RNN) and how LSTM differs from the classical RNN. In a feed-forward neural network, information travels only in the forward direction, whereas in an RNN, information rotates through a loop.
