There is a new code for Keras 2 by my friend. On the beginning of the original blogpost: http://danielhnyk.cz/predicting-sequences-vectors-keras-using-rnn-lstm/

Hi, is there anyone who has the idea about applying this to categorical data. I mean I have a data in sequence; first column represents the event code which is categorical column and second column is their sequence number.

Any help?
