What it is

A recurrent neural network architecture with gating mechanisms that regulate the flow of information without a separate memory cell, introduced by Kyunghyun Cho and collaborators as a simpler alternative to LSTMs.

What it led to

  • widespread adoption in machine translation and sequence modeling
  • reduction in parameter count compared with LSTM networks
  • influence on later deep-learning architectures for text and speech
