Does week 3 depend on week 2? I’m not interested in RNN for NLP and don’t have much time. Is it doable to study week 3 without studying week 2?
RNN, as you might imagine, is not restricted to NLP. NLP is usually used in examples to make it easy to understand the concepts.
If you have a good grasp of what a word embedding is, you can go to week 3 (although I wouldn’t recommend doing it). Do check the 1st assignment for week 3.
If you’re interested in application of RNNs in tensorflow in non-NLP domain, please see the 4th course in tensorflow developer certificate specialization which covers creating models for time series data.
Thanks, Balaji.
