Questions on inputs for GRU model

[arvyzukai]

Hi @Jose_James

@Jose_James

Are input characters first transformed into embeddings and then within the GRU the hidden units just happen to equal the embedding dimensions? Or are the hidden units themselves use embeddings.

I’m not sure I fully understand the question. I would suggest to browse these related answers first:

• Here is a related answer to what the Embedding layer does;
• A simple RNN sequence (same for GRU);

Feel free to ask what parts are confusing.

Cheers
