RNN Training Labels

Course Q&A Deep Learning Specialization Sequence Models

For W1A2 - Dinosaurus_Island_Character_level_language_model assignment, what are the Y labels during training? RNN is a form of supervised learning architectures so there must be Y labels. But the dinosaur name input file does not have labels.

So I am curious to know.

From Notebook:

  • The goal is to train the RNN to predict the next letter in the name, so the labels are the list of characters that are one time-step ahead of the characters in the input X.
    • For example, Y[0] contains the same value as X[1]
