Set up of an RNN

The figure here displays a simple example of an RNN, with inputs x_t at a given time t and outputs y_t . Introducing time as a variable offers an intutitive way of understanding these networks. In addition to the inputs x_t , the layer at a time t receives also as input the output from the previous layer t-1 , that is y_{t1} .

This means also that we need to have weights that link both the inputs x_t to the outputs y_t as well as weights that link the output from the previous time y_{t-1} and y_t . The figure here shows an example of a simple RNN.
