What is LSTM best for?

LSTM networks are well-suited to classifying, processing and making predictions based on time series data , since there can be lags of unknown duration between important events in a time series. LSTMs were developed to deal with the vanishing gradient problem that can be encountered when training traditional RNNs.

Is deep learning good for time series?

Traditionally, time series forecasting has been dominated by linear methods because they are well understood and effective on many simpler forecasting problems. Deep learning neural networks are able to automatically learn arbitrary complex mappings from inputs to outputs and support multiple inputs and outputs .
