Anomaly Detection in Sequences
Master anomaly detection for sequential data - from statistical baselines to LSTM autoencoders. Learn why standard methods fail on time series, how to pick thresholds, and how to build production-grade systems that catch real anomalies without drowning your team in false alarms.
LSTM and GRU Deep Dive
Master Long Short-Term Memory and Gated Recurrent Units - the architectures that solved vanishing gradients and powered a decade of sequence modeling breakthroughs.
Module 6 - Sequences and Time Series
From vanilla RNNs to production anomaly detectors - how neural networks learn order, memory, and time.
RNNs and the Vanishing Gradient Problem
How recurrent neural networks process sequential data through shared hidden states, and why vanishing gradients cripple their ability to learn long-range dependencies.
Seq2Seq and Encoder-Decoder Architectures
How encoder-decoder networks with attention solve variable-length sequence-to-sequence problems - from machine translation to summarization and code generation.
Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCNs)
Master Temporal Convolutional Networks - causal and dilated convolutions, receptive field math, residual blocks, and when TCNs outperform LSTMs and Transformers in production sequence modeling.
Time Series Forecasting Patterns
Master the core patterns, classical methods, and deep learning approaches for time series forecasting - including the most critical mistake practitioners make with train/test splits.
