Networks That Deal With Time

In the feedforward networks we have been studying, transfer functions capture the network state (not usually spatiotemporal in nature).

Recurrent neural networks feed signal back from output to network (output to hidden, hidden to hidden, hidden to input, others).

In this way they can learn a function of time.

y(t) = w1 x1(t) + w2 x2(t) + ... + wn+1 x1(t-1) + wn+1 x2(t-1) + ...
