Les RNN [réseaux de neurones récurrents] peuvent être entraînés à l'aide [de la] rétropropagation dans le temps (backpropagation through time). L'idée de cette méthode est de rétropropager le gradient dans le réseau non seulement à travers les couches, mais également en remontant les différentes itérations «temporelles». 3, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9tropropagation%20%C3%A0%20travers%20le%20temps

L'apprentissage se fait selon un algorithme de «rétropropagation de l'erreur». Le réseau procède par essais et erreurs, sous la supervision de son maître, qui «récompense» les bonnes connexions (celles qui donnent le résultat attendu) en les renforçant, et «punit» les moins bonnes en les affaiblissant.
