Can teacher forcing in RNN ensure Turing completeness?

RNN has the same capability as a universal Turing machine. But I am confused whether RNN holds the same capabilities if we use teacher forcing. Consider the following excerpts from paragraphs taken ...

What is a recurrent neural network?

Surprisingly, this wasn't asked before - at least I didn't find anything besides some vaguely related questions. So, what is a recurrent neural network, and what are their advantages over regular (or ...

What is the difference between CNN-LSTM and RNN?

I'm starting to study RNN for a project of video prediction, but I encounter these CNN-LSTM models. Initially, I thought that is another name for RNN, but I think I get it wrong. Since I'm a beginner ...

What's the difference between LSTM and GRU?

I have been reading about LSTMs and GRUs, which are recurrent neural networks (RNNs). The difference between the two is the number and specific type of gates that they have. The GRU has an update gate,...

From an implementation point of view, what are the main differences between an RNN and a CNN?

I understand that in general an RNN is good for time series data and a CNN image data, and have noticed many blogs explaining the fundamental differences in the models. As a beginner in machine ...
