The contribution

Smith and Zipser examined learning in networks with recurrent connections, where retained activity lets earlier events affect current computations. Their study applied the real-time recurrent learning algorithm to sequential structure, contributing to the line of research on how a network can learn to use its own evolving state as memory.

What this does not establish

Real-time refers to the way learning updates are computed, not a guarantee of cheap computation or perfect memory. Grammar-learning experiments do not establish general reasoning ability.

Why this date?

1989 dates the journal article. The original title uses the singular Structure; LSTM's bibliography uses the plural Structures for the same authors, venue, and page range.
