In this paper we compare different types of recurrent units in recurrent neural networks
(RNNs). Especially, we focus on more sophisticated units that implement a gating
mechanism, such as a long short-term memory (LSTM) unit and a recently proposed gated
recurrent unit (GRU). We evaluate these recurrent units on the tasks of polyphonic music
modeling and speech signal modeling. Our experiments revealed that these advanced
recurrent units are indeed better than more traditional recurrent units such as tanh units …

Our experiments revealed that these advanced recurrent units are indeed better than more traditional recurrent units such as tanh units. Also, we found GRU to be comparable to LSTM.
