title: Stabilising and accelerating light gated recurrent units for automatic speech recognition
abstract: The light gated recurrent units (Li-GRU) is well-known for achieving impressive results in automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks while being lighter and faster to train than a standard gated recurrent units (GRU). However, the unbounded nature of its rectified linear unit on the candidate recurrent gate induces an important gradient exploding phenomenon disrupting the training process and preventing it from being applied to famous datasets. In this paper, we theoretically and empirically deri
