Thanks for pointing this out. The same acronym is used to refer to both versions. I like the description of Recursive Neural Nets versus Recurrent Neural Nets in this Stack Overflow post [1]. > A recursive network is just a generalization of a recurrent network. In a recurrent network the weights are shared (and dimensionality remains constant) along the length of the sequence because how would you deal with position-dependent weights when you encounter a sequence at test-time of different length to any you saw at train-time. In a recursive network the weights are shared (and dimensionality remains constant) at every node for the same reason. In the TreeRNN (Tree Recursive Neural Nets) Github project and associated paper [2], there is indeed an implementation of a TreeLSTM which is a recursive LSTM inspired by the recurrent version.
