LSTM Based Word Detectors

LSTMs (Long Short Term Memory) are a long term memory units that were designed to solve the vanishing gradient problem with the RNNs. The LSTM was proposed by Sepp Hochreiter and Jürgen Schmidhuber in 1997. The detector implemented in this article is a cuss word detector that detects a custom set of cuss words. It aims to provide the basics of LSTm and implements a word detector using the architecture. Google started using an L.STM for speech recognition on Google Voice in 2015.
