Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks are a crucial advancement for sequential data, addressing the exploding and vanishing gradient problems in traditional RNNs. This article explains how LSTMs use a clever architecture with a cell state and a hidden state, along with three gates—forget, input, and output—to manage information flow effectively.
