// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Recurrent Neural Network
RNNs are a type of neural network designed to process sequences of data by having connections that allow information to loop back, giving them a "memory" of previous inputs.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A class of neural networks characterized by recurrent connections that allow information to persist across sequence steps, enabling them to process sequential data (e.g., time series, natural language) by maintaining an internal hidden state that captures context from previous inputs.
BACKGROUND
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses generative models to generate text, images, videos, audio, software code or other forms of data. These models learn the underlying patterns and structures of their training data, and use them to generate new data in response to input, which often takes the form of natural language prompts.

USAGE NOTE
RNNs are foundational for tasks involving sequential data, though often superseded by LSTMs, GRUs, or Transformers for long sequences.
