That sounds awesome, is the code public, did you wrote everything from scratch
or did you use a framework?

Sounds good, note we already have an LSTM implementation, that can be used.
However, there are many LSTM related ideas that could be explored like Nested
LSTMs.

That sounds like a great idea to me, I guess this could be a neat side project
to get familiar with the codebase since it's mainly a conv net, most parts
should already exist.

Let me know if I should clarify anything.

Thanks,
Marcus
