<p>I'm not familiar with the GRU architecture. However, this paper compares the LSTM and GRU architectures, I think it's exactly what you need.</p>

Gated Recurrent Unit and Long Short Term Memory
<p>Could somebody explain the similarities and dissimilarities between Long Short Term Memory(LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit(GRU) architectures. I know the definitions of each and that GRU lack an output gate and therefore have fewer parameters. Could somebody please give an intuitive explanation / analogy.</p>
