Many different discrete-time recurrent neural network architectures have been proposed. However, there has been virtually no effort to compare these arch:tectures experimentally. In this paper we review and categorize many of these architectures and compare how they perform on various classes of simple problems including grammatical inference and nonlinear system identification.

The focused gamma network is proposed as one of the possible implementations of the gamma neural model. The focused gamma network is compared with the focused backpropagation network and TDNN for a time series prediction problem, and with ADALINE in a system identification problem.
