Published: March 18, 2019, 7:31 p.m.

b'Today we\\u2019re joined by Jos Van Der Westhuizen, PhD student in Engineering at Cambridge University.\\n\\nJos\\u2019 research focuses on applying LSTMs, or Long Short-Term Memory neural networks, to biological data for various tasks. In our conversation, we discuss his paper "The unreasonable effectiveness of the forget gate," in which he explores the various \\u201cgates\\u201d that make up an LSTM module and the general impact of getting rid of gates on the computational intensity of training the networks.'
