Recent work such as https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.01271 show that for most tasks, 1D CNNs outperform recurrent architectures while being faster to train&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1803.01271/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

RNN should have more power on NLP/Audio, but too slow, maybe it has many incredible power we can&amp;#x27;t explore now, maybe it can reach near human intelligent in the future with more powerful computer power, in that future RNN maybe rediscover and revival like neural network now by DNN, but now can we just use CNN for nearly every thing in real product…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2 points; 0 discussion replies on HN. &lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1803.01271/"&gt;Paper and source history&lt;/a&gt;.

TCN&amp;#x27;s are implemented in all major frameworks and work an order of magnitude faster because they are parallel. https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.01271 https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.08242&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1803.01271/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
