 The goals of this assignment are as follows:
 
-- Understand the architecture of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and how they operate on sequences by sharing weights over time.
-- Understand and implement Vanilla RNNs, Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), and Transformer networks for Image captioning.
-- Understand how to combine convolutional neural nets and recurrent nets to implement an image captioning system.
+- Understand and implement RNN and Transformer networks. Combine them with CNN networks for image captioning.
 - Explore various applications of image gradients, including saliency maps, fooling images, class visualizations.
 - Understand how to train and implement a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to produce images that resemble samples from a dataset.
 - Understand how to leverage self-supervised learning techniques to help with image classification tasks.
-- *(optional) Understand and implement techniques for image style transfer.
