[#RNNs](https://x.com/hashtag/RNNs?src=hashtag_click)-[#LSTMs](https://x.com/hashtag/LSTMs?src=hashtag_click) have long been used to process sequential data, but modern analytics favor [#Transformers](https://x.com/hashtag/Transformers?src=hashtag_click) with [#attention](https://x.com/hashtag/attention?src=hashtag_click) mechanisms. @Stef explores enhancing [#RNNs](https://x.com/hashtag/RNNs?src=hashtag_click) with an [#attention](https://x.com/hashtag/attention?src=hashtag_click) layer using [#KNIME](https://x.com/hashtag/KNIME?src=hashtag_click), [#Python](https://x.com/hashtag/Python?src=hashtag_click), and the dedicated [#Keras](https://x.com/hashtag/Keras?src=hashtag_click) and [#TensorFlow](https://x.com/hashtag/TensorFlow?src=hashtag_click) extensions. Enjoy the data story!
