Bidirectional and Stacked Layers
Read context from both directions.
One Direction Is Limiting
A plain LSTM reads left to right, so it only knows the past. But meaning often depends on words that come later too. 🔄
Reading Both Ways
A bidirectional LSTM runs two passes: one forward and one backward, so each word sees context from both sides.
