        (outputs, final_states)
        outputs (Tensor|list|tuple): the output sequence. Tensor or nested 
            structure of Tensors.
            If `time_major` is True, the shape of each tensor in outpus is

            tensor[s], representing the final state for RNN. It has the same 
            structure of intial state. Each tensor in final states has the same

    Decoder is the base class for any decoder instance used in `dynamic_decode`.
    It provides interface for output generation for one time step, which can be
    used to generate sequences. 

    The key abstraction provided by Decoder is:

    1. :code:`(initial_input, initial_state, finished) = initialize(inits)` ,
    which generates the input and state for the first decoding step, and gives the
    initial status telling whether each sequence in the batch is finished.
    It would be called once before the decoding iterations.

    2. :code:`(output, next_state, next_input, finished) = step(time, input, state)` ,
    which transforms the input and state to the output and new state, generates 
    input for the next decoding step, and emits the flag indicating finished status.
    It is the main part for each decoding iteration.

    3. :code:`(final_outputs, final_state) = finalize(outputs, final_state, sequence_lengths)` ,
    which revises the outputs(stack of all time steps' output) and final state(state from the
    last decoding step) to get the counterpart for special usage.
    Not necessary to be implemented if no need to revise the stacked outputs and
    state from the last decoding step. If implemented, it would be called after
    the decoding iterations.

    Decoder is more general compared to RNNCell, since the returned `next_input`
    and `finished` make it can determine the input and when to finish by itself
    when used in dynamic decoding. Decoder always wraps a RNNCell instance though
    not necessary.

    **NOTE** When decoding with beam search, the `inputs` and `states` of cell
    would be tiled to `beam_size` (unsqueeze and tile), resulting to shapes like
    `[batch_size * beam_size, ...]` , which is built into `BeamSearchDecoder` and

    :code:`BeamSearchDecoder.tile_beam_merge_with_batch` . The most common case
    for this is the encoder output in attention mechanism.

	:api_attr: Static Graph

    Dynamic decoding performs :code:`decoder.step()` repeatedly until the returned
    Tensor indicating finished status contains all True values or the number of
    decoding step reaches to :attr:`max_step_num`.

    :code:`decoder.initialize()` would be called once before the decoding loop.
    If the `decoder` has implemented `finalize` method, :code:`decoder.finalize()`
    would be called once after the decoding loop.

    Parameters:
        decoder(Decoder): An instance of `Decoder`.
        inits(object, optional): Argument passed to `decoder.initialize`. 
            Default `None`.
        max_step_num(int, optional): The maximum number of steps. If not provided,
            decode until the decoder is fully done, or in other words, the returned
            Tensor by :code:`decoder.step()` indicating finished status contains
            all True. Default `None`.
        output_time_major(bool, optional): Indicate the data layout of Tensor included
            in the final outputs(the first returned value of this method). If
            attr:`False`, the data layout would be batch major with shape
            `[batch_size, seq_len, ...]`.  If attr:`True`, the data layout would
            be time major with shape `[seq_len, batch_size, ...]`. Default: `False`.
        impute_finished(bool, optional): If `True`, then states get copied through
            for batch entries which are marked as finished, which differs with the
            unfinished using the new states returned by :code:`decoder.step()` and
            ensures that the final states have the correct values. Otherwise, states
            wouldn't be copied through when finished. If the returned `final_states`
            is needed, it should be set as True, which causes some slowdown.
            Default `False`.
        is_test(bool, optional): A flag indicating whether to use test mode. In
            test mode, it is more memory saving. Default `False`.
        return_length(bool, optional):  A flag indicating whether to return an
            extra Tensor variable in the output tuple, which stores the actual
            lengths of all decoded sequences. Default `False`.
        **kwargs: Additional keyword arguments. Arguments passed to `decoder.step`. 

    Returns:
        tuple: A tuple( :code:`(final_outputs, final_states, sequence_lengths)` ) \
            when `return_length` is True, otherwise a tuple( :code:`(final_outputs, final_states)` ). \
            The final outputs and states, both are Tensor or nested structure of Tensor. \
            `final_outputs` has the same structure and data types as the :code:`outputs` \
            returned by :code:`decoder.step()` , and each Tenser in `final_outputs` \
            is the stacked of all decoding steps' outputs, which might be revised \
            by :code:`decoder.finalize()` if the decoder has implemented `finalize`. \
            `final_states` is the counterpart at last time step of initial states \
            returned by :code:`decoder.initialize()` , thus has the same structure \
            with it and has tensors with same shapes and data types. `sequence_lengths` \
            is an `int64` tensor with the same shape as `finished` returned \
            by :code:`decoder.initialize()` , and it stores the actual lengths of \
            all decoded sequences.

    2. Perform `sample_ids = helper.sample(time, cell_outputs, cell_states)`

        1. This OP only supports LoDTensor as inputs. If you need to deal with Tensor, please use :ref:`api_fluid_layers_lstm` .
        2. In order to improve efficiency, users must first map the input of dimension [T, hidden_size] to input of [T, 4 * hidden_size], and then pass it to this OP.

    The implementation of this OP include diagonal/peephole connections.
    Please refer to `Gers, F. A., & Schmidhuber, J. (2000) <ftp://ftp.idsia.ch/pub/juergen/TimeCount-IJCNN2000.pdf>`_ .
    If you do not need peephole connections, please set use_peepholes to False .

    This OP computes each timestep as follows:

    .. math::
      i_t = \sigma(W_{ix}x_{t} + W_{ih}h_{t-1} + b_{x_i} + b_{h_i})
    .. math::
      f_t = \sigma(W_{fx}x_{t} + W_{fh}h_{t-1} + b_{x_f} + b_{h_f})

    .. math::
      h_t = o_t \odot tanh(c_t)

    The symbolic meanings in the formula are as follows:

    - :math:`x_{t}` represents the input at timestep :math:`t`
    - :math:`h_{t}` represents the hidden state at timestep :math:`t`
    - :math:`h_{t-1}, c_{t-1}` represent the hidden state and cell state at timestep :math:`t-1` , respectively
    - :math:`\widetilde{c_t}` represents the candidate cell state
    - :math:`i_t` , :math:`f_t` and :math:`o_t` represent input gate, forget gate, output gate, respectively
    - :math:`W` represents weight (e.g., :math:`W_{ix}` is the weight of a linear transformation of input :math:`x_{t}` when calculating input gate :math:`i_t` )
    - :math:`b` represents bias (e.g., :math:`b_{i}` is the bias of input gate)
    - :math:`\sigma` represents nonlinear activation function for gate, default sigmoid
    - :math:`\odot` represents the Hadamard product of a matrix, i.e. multiplying the elements of the same position for two matrices with the same dimension to get another matrix with the same dimension

    This OP computes each timestep as follows:

    .. math::
      i_t = \sigma(W_{ix}x_{t} + W_{ih}h_{t-1} + b_{x_i} + b_{h_i})
    .. math::

    .. math::
      h_t = o_t \odot tanh(c_t)

    - :math:`b` represents bias (e.g., :math:`b_{i}` is the bias of input gate)
    - :math:`\sigma` represents nonlinear activation function for gate, default sigmoid
    - :math:`\odot` represents the Hadamard product of a matrix, i.e. multiplying the elements of the same position for two matrices with the same dimension to get another matrix with the same dimension

    **Note**:
        1. In order to improve efficiency, users must first map the input of dimension [T, hidden_size] to input of [T, 4 * hidden_size], and then pass it to this OP.

    This OP implements the LSTMP (LSTM Projected) layer.
    The LSTMP layer has a separate linear mapping layer behind the LSTM layer. -- `Sak, H., Senior, A., & Beaufays, F. (2014) <https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub43905.pdf>`_ .

    Compared with the standard LSTM layer, LSTMP has an additional linear mapping layer,
    which is used to map from the original hidden state :math:`h_t` to the lower dimensional state :math:`r_t` .
    This reduces the total number of parameters and computational complexity, especially when the output unit is relatively large.

    The default implementation of the OP contains diagonal/peephole connections,
    please refer to `Gers, F. A., & Schmidhuber, J. (2000) <ftp://ftp.idsia.ch/pub/juergen/TimeCount-IJCNN2000.pdf>`_ .
    If you need to disable the peephole connections, set use_peepholes to False.

    This OP computes each timestep as follows:

    .. math::
      i_t = \sigma(W_{ix}x_{t} + W_{ir}r_{t-1} + W_{ic}c_{t-1} + b_i)
    .. math::
          f_t = \sigma(W_{fx}x_{t} + W_{fr}r_{t-1} + W_{fc}c_{t-1} + b_f)
    .. math::
          o_t = \sigma(W_{ox}x_{t} + W_{or}r_{t-1} + W_{oc}c_{t-1} + b_o)
    .. math::
          \widetilde{c_t} = act_g(W_{cx}x_t + W_{cr}r_{t-1} + b_c)
    .. math::
          c_t = f_t \odot c_{t-1} + i_t \odot \widetilde{c_t}
    .. math::
          h_t = o_t \odot act_h(c_t)

    in one time step support these two modes:

    This operator does not include the calculations :math:`W_{ux}x_{t}, W_{rx}x_{t}, W_{cx}x_{t}` ,
    **Note** thus a fully-connect layer whose size is 3 times of ``size`` should
    be used before this operator, and the output should be used as ``input`` here.
    :math:`h_{t-1}` is the hidden state from previous time step.

        size(int): Indicate the hidden size.
        param_attr(ParamAttr, optional):  To specify the weight parameter property.
            Default: None, which means the default weight parameter property is used.
            See usage for details in :ref:`api_fluid_ParamAttr` .
        bias_attr (ParamAttr, optional): To specify the bias parameter property.
            Default: None, which means the default bias parameter property is used.

            :math:`[N, D]` , where :math:`N` is the number of sequences in the
            mini-batch, :math:`D` for the hidden size. The data type should be
            same as ``input`` . Default None.

    Beam search is a classical algorithm for selecting candidate words in a
    machine translation task.

    Refer to `Beam search <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_search>`_
    for more details.

    **This operator only supports LoDTensor.** It is used after finishing
    scores calculation to perform beam search for one time step. Specifically,
    after ``ids`` and ``scores`` have been produced, it selects the top-K
    ( `k` is ``beam_size`` ) candidate word ids of current step from ``ids``
    according to the corresponding ``scores``. Additionally, ``pre_id`` and
    ``pre_scores`` are the output of `beam_search` at previous step, they
    are needed for special use to handle ended candidate translations.

    Note that if ``is_accumulated`` is True, the ``scores`` passed in should
    be accumulated scores. Otherwise, the ``scores`` are
    considered as the probabilities of single step and would be transformed to
    the log field and added up with ``pre_scores`` for final scores in this
    operator. Length penalty should be done with extra operators before calculating
    the accumulated scores if needed.

    Please see the following demo for a fully beam search usage example:

        fluid/tests/book/test_machine_translation.py

    Args:
        pre_ids(Variable): A LodTensor variable (lod level is 2), representing
            the selected ids of previous step. It is the output of beam_search
            at previous step. Its shape is `[batch_size, 1]` and its lod is
            `[[0, 1, ... , batch_size], [0, 1, ..., batch_size]]` at the
            first step. The data type should be int64.
        pre_scores(Variable): A LodTensor variable has the same shape and lod
            with ``pre_ids`` , representing the accumulated scores corresponding
            to the selected ids of previous step. It is the output of
            beam_search at previous step. The data type should be float32 or float64.
        ids(Variable|None): A LodTensor variable containing the candidates ids.
            It has the same lod with ``pre_ids`` and its shape should be
            `[batch_size * beam_size, K]`, where `K` supposed to be greater than
            ``beam_size`` and the first dimension size (decrease as samples reach
            to the end) should be same as that of ``pre_ids`` . The data type
            should be int64. It can be None, which use index in ``scores`` as
            ids.
        scores(Variable): A LodTensor variable containing the accumulated
            scores corresponding to ``ids`` . Both its shape and lod are same as
            those of ``ids`` . The data type should be float32 or float64.
        beam_size(int): The beam width used in beam search.
        end_id(int): The id of end token.
        level(int): **It can be ignored and mustn't change currently.**
            The 2 level lod used in this operator has the following
            meaning: The first level describes how many beams each sample has,
            which would change to 0 when beams of the sample all end (batch reduce);
            The second level describes how many times each beam is selected.
            Default 0, which shouldn't be changed currently.
        is_accumulated(bool): Whether the input ``score`` is accumulated scores.
            Default True.
        name(str, optional): For detailed information, please refer 
            to :ref:`api_guide_Name`. Usually name is no need to set and 
            None by default.
        return_parent_idx(bool, optional): Whether to return an extra Tensor variable
            in output, which stores the selected ids' parent index in
            ``pre_ids`` and can be used to update RNN's states by gather operator.
            Default False.

    Returns:
        tuple: The tuple contains two or three LodTensor variables. The two LodTensor, \
            representing the selected ids and the corresponding accumulated scores of \
            current step, have the same shape `[batch_size, beam_size]` and lod with 2 levels, \
            and have data types int64 and float32. If ``return_parent_idx`` is True, \
            an extra Tensor variable preserving the selected ids' parent index \
            is included, whose shape is `[batch_size * beam_size]` and data type \
            is int64.

    This operator is used after beam search has completed. It constructs the
    full predicted sequences for each sample by walking back along the search
    paths stored in lod of ``ids`` . The result sequences are stored in a
    LoDTensor, which uses the following way to parse:

    .. code-block:: text

        If lod = [[0, 3, 6], [0, 12, 24, 40, 54, 67, 82]]

        The first level of lod stands for: There are 2 samples each having 3
        (beam width) predicted sequence.

        The second level of lod stands for: The lengths of the first sample's
        3 predicted sequences are 12, 12, 16; The lengths of the second sample's
        3 predicted sequences are 14, 13, 15.


    Please see the following demo for a fully beam search usage example:
        fluid/tests/book/test_machine_translation.py

    Args:
        ids(Variable): The LoDTensorArray variable containing the selected ids

    Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) RNN cell. This operator performs LSTM calculations for
    one time step, whose implementation is based on calculations described in `RECURRENT
    NEURAL NETWORK REGULARIZATION <http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.2329>`_  .

    We add forget_bias to the biases of the forget gate in order to
    reduce the scale of forgetting. The formula is as follows:
    
    .. math::

        i_{t} & = \sigma(W_{x_{i}}x_{t} + W_{h_{i}}h_{t-1} + b_{i})

        h_{t} & = o_{t} tanh (c_{t})

    :math:`x_{t}` stands for ``x_t`` , corresponding to the input of current time step;
    :math:`h_{t-1}` and :math:`c_{t-1}` correspond to ``hidden_t_prev`` and ``cell_t_prev`` ,
    representing the output of from previous time step.
    :math:`i_{t}, f_{t}, c_{t}, o_{t}, h_{t}` are input gate, forget gate, cell, output gate
    and hidden calculation.

    Args:
        x_t(Variable): A 2D Tensor representing the input of current time step.
            Its shape should be :math:`[N, M]` , where :math:`N` stands for batch
            size, :math:`M` for the feature size of input. The data type should
            be float32 or float64.
        hidden_t_prev(Variable): A 2D Tensor representing the hidden value from
            previous step. Its shape should be :math:`[N, D]` , where :math:`N`
            stands for batch size, :math:`D` for the hidden size. The data type
            should be same as ``x_t`` .
        cell_t_prev(Variable): A 2D Tensor representing the cell value from
            previous step. It has the same shape and data type with ``hidden_t_prev`` .
        forget_bias (float, optional): :math:`forget\\_bias` added to the biases
            of the forget gate. Default 0.
        param_attr(ParamAttr, optional):  To specify the weight parameter property.
            Default: None, which means the default weight parameter property is used.
            See usage for details in :ref:`api_fluid_ParamAttr` .
        bias_attr (ParamAttr, optional): To specify the bias parameter property.
            Default: None, which means the default bias parameter property is used.
            See usage for details in :ref:`api_fluid_ParamAttr` .
        name(str, optional): For detailed information, please refer 
            to :ref:`api_guide_Name`. Usually name is no need to set and
