    **Fully Connected Layer**

    This operator creates a fully connected layer in the network. It can take
    a Tensor(or LoDTensor) or a list of Tensor(or LoDTensor) as its inputs(see
    Args in detail). It creates a variable called weight for each input Tensor,
    which represents a fully connected weight matrix from each input unit to
    each output unit. The fully connected layer multiplies each input Tensor
    with its corresponding weight to produce an output Tensor with shape :math:`[M, size]` ,
    where M is batch size. If a list of Tensor is given, the results of
    multiple output Tensors with shape :math:`[M, size]` will be summed up. If :attr:`bias_attr`
    is not None, a bias variable will be created and added to the output.
    Finally, if :attr:`act` is not None, it will be applied to the output as well.

    When the input is a single Tensor(or LoDTensor):

    .. math::

        Out = Act({XW + b})

    When the input is a list of Tensor(or LoDTensor):

    .. math::

        Out = Act({\sum_{i=0}^{N-1}X_iW_i + b})

    In the above equation:

    * :math:`N`: Number of the input. N equals to len(input) if input is list of Variable.
    * :math:`X_i`: The i-th input tensor.
    * :math:`W_i`: The i-th weights matrix corresponding i-th input tensor.
    * :math:`b`: The bias parameter created by this layer (if needed).
    * :math:`Act`: The activation function.
    * :math:`Out`: The output Tensor.

        Case 1:
        Given a single Tensor data_1, and num_flatten_dims = 2:
            data_1.data = [[[0.1, 0.2],
                            [0.3, 0.4]]]

            out = fluid.layers.fc(input=data_1, size=1, num_flatten_dims=2)

        Then output is:

            out.shape = (1, 2)

    Args:
        input (Variable|list of Variable): A Tensor(or LoDTensor) with shape :math:`[N_1, N_2,..., N_k]` or
            a list of Tensor(or LoDTensor). The dimensions of the input Tensor is at least 2 and the data
            type should be float32 or float64.
        size(int): The number of output units in this layer, which also means the feature size of output
            Tensor(or LoDTensor).
        num_flatten_dims (int): The fc layer can accept an input Tensor with more than
            two dimensions. If this happens, the multidimensional tensor will first be flattened
            into a 2-D matrix. The parameter :attr:`num_flatten_dims` determines how the input
            Tensor is flattened: the first :attr:`num_flatten_dims` (inclusive, index starts from 1)
            dimensions will be flatten to form the first dimension of the final matrix (height of
            the matrix), and the rest :math:`rank(X) - num\_flatten\_dims` dimensions are flattened to
            form the second dimension of the final matrix (width of the matrix). For example, assuming that
            X is a 5-dimensional Tensor with a shape [2, 3, 4, 5, 6], and :attr:`num_flatten_dims` = 3.
            Then, the flattened matrix will have a shape [2 x 3 x 4, 5 x 6] = [24, 30]. Default: 1.
        param_attr (ParamAttr): 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): 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` .
        act (str): Activation to be applied to the output of this layer, such as tanh, softmax,
            sigmoid, relu. For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_activations_en` . Default: None.
        name (str, optional): The default value is None.  Normally there is no need for user to set this property.
            For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name` .

    Returns:
        Variable: Tensor or LoDTensor calculated by fc layer. The data type is same with input.

    Raises:
        ValueError: If dimensions of the input Tensor is less than 2.

    **WARING:** This OP will be deprecated in a future release. This OP requires the
    last dimension of Tensor shape must be equal to 1. It is recommended to use
    fluid. :ref:`api_fluid_embedding` .

    The operator is used to lookup embeddings vector of ids provided by :attr:`input` .
    It automatically constructs a 2D embedding matrix based on the
    input :attr:`size` (vocab_size, emb_size) and :attr:`dtype` .

    This OP requires the last dimension of Tensor shape must be equal to 1. The shape
    of output Tensor is generated by replacing the last dimension of the input Tensor shape
    with emb_size.

    **Note:** The id in :attr:`input` must satisfy :math:`0 =< id < size[0]` , 
    otherwise the program will throw an exception and exit.

    Args:
        input(Variable): A Tensor or LoDTensor with type int64, which contains the id information.
            The last dimension of Tensor shape must be equal to 1. The value of the input id should
            satisfy :math:`0<= id < size[0]` .
        size(tuple|list): The shape of lookup table parameter. It should have two elements which
            indicates the size of the dictionary of embeddings and the size of each embedding vector respectively.
        is_sparse(bool): The flag indicating whether to use sparse update. This parameter only
            affects the performance of the backwards gradient update. It is recommended to set 
            True because sparse update is faster. But some optimizer does not support sparse update,
            such as :ref:`api_fluid_optimizer_AdadeltaOptimizer` , :ref:`api_fluid_optimizer_AdamaxOptimizer` , 
            :ref:`api_fluid_optimizer_DecayedAdagradOptimizer` , :ref:`api_fluid_optimizer_FtrlOptimizer` ,
            :ref:`api_fluid_optimizer_LambOptimizer` and :ref:`api_fluid_optimizer_LarsMomentumOptimizer` .
            In these case, is_sparse must be False. Default: False.
        is_distributed(bool): Whether to store the embedding matrix in a distributed manner. Only used
            in multi-machine distributed CPU training. Default: False.
        padding_idx(int|long|None): padding_idx needs to be in the interval [-vocab_size, vocab_size). 
            If :math:`padding\_idx < 0`, the :math:`padding\_idx` will automatically be converted
            to :math:`vocab\_size + padding\_idx` . It will output all-zero padding data whenever lookup
            encounters :math:`padding\_idx` in id. And the padding data will not be updated while training.
            If set None, it makes no effect to output. Default: None.
        param_attr(ParamAttr): 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` . In addition,
            user-defined or pre-trained word vectors can be loaded with the :attr:`param_attr` parameter. 
            The local word vector needs to be transformed into numpy format, and the shape of local word
            vector should be consistent with :attr:`size` . Then :ref:`api_fluid_initializer_NumpyArrayInitializer`
            is used to load custom or pre-trained word vectors. See code example 2 for details.
        dtype(str|core.VarDesc.VarType): It refers to the data type of output Tensor.
            It must be float32 or float64. Default: float32.

    Returns:
        Variable: Embedding Tensor or LoDTensor mapped by input. The data type is the same as :attr:`dtype` .

    probability) the outputs of some units to zero, while others are remain
    unchanged.

    dropout op can be removed from the program to make the program more efficient.

    This operator computes the precision, recall and F1-score for chunk detection.
    It is often used in sequence tagging tasks, such as Named Entity Recognition(NER).

    For some basics of chunking, please refer to
    `Chunking with Support Vector Machines <https://aclanthology.info/pdf/N/N01/N01-1025.pdf>`_ .

    This operator supports IOB, IOE, IOBES and IO (also known as plain) tagging schemes.
    Here is a NER example for the usage of these tagging schemes:

    .. code-block:: python

       ====== ====== ======  =====  ==  ============   =====  ===== =====  ==  =========
              Li     Ming    works  at  Agricultural   Bank   of    China  in  Beijing.
       ====== ====== ======  =====  ==  ============   =====  ===== =====  ==  =========
       IO     I-PER  I-PER   O      O   I-ORG          I-ORG  I-ORG I-ORG  O   I-LOC
       IOB    B-PER  I-PER   O      O   B-ORG          I-ORG  I-ORG I-ORG  O   B-LOC
       IOE    I-PER  E-PER   O      O   I-ORG          I-ORG  I-ORG E-ORG  O   E-LOC
       IOBES  B-PER  E-PER   O      O   I-ORG          I-ORG  I-ORG E-ORG  O   S-LOC
       ====== ====== ======  =====  ==  ============   =====  ===== =====  ==  =========

    There are three chunk types(named entity types) including PER(person), ORG(organization)
    and LOC(location), and we can see that the labels have the form `<tag type>-<chunk type>` .

    Since the implementation of this operator actually uses label ids rather than
    label strings, to make it work, there should be a way to map label ids to
    tag types and chunk types. This operator uses the following way to do mapping:

    .. code-block:: python

       tag_type = label % num_tag_type
       chunk_type = label / num_tag_type

    where `num_tag_type` is the num of tag types in the tagging scheme, `num_chunk_type`
    is the num of chunk types, and `tag_type` get its value from the following table.

    .. code-block:: python

       Scheme Begin Inside End   Single
        plain   0     -      -     -
        IOB     0     1      -     -
        IOE     -     0      1     -
        IOBES   0     1      2     3

    Accordingly, in the above NER example, if the tagging scheme is IOB and chunk
    types are ORG, PER and LOC, then the label ids would be as follows:

    .. code-block:: python

       B-ORG  0
       I-ORG  1
       B-PER  2
       I-PER  3
       B-LOC  4
       I-LOC  5
       O      6

    With which we can map each label id to the corresponding tag type and chunk
    type correctly.

    Args:
        input (Variable): A Tensor or LoDTensor, representing the predicted labels
            from the network. When it is a Tensor, its shape would be `[N, M, 1]`,
            where `N` stands for batch size, `M` for sequence length; When it is
            a LoDTensor, its shape would be `[N, 1]` where `N` stands for the total
            sequence lengths in this mini-batch. The data type should be int64.
        label (Variable): A Tensor or LoDTensor representing the ground-truth labels.
            It should have the same shape, lod and data type as ``input`` .
        chunk_scheme (str): Indicate the tagging schemes used here. The value must
            be IOB, IOE, IOBES or plain.
        num_chunk_types (int): The number of chunk types.
        excluded_chunk_types (list, optional): Indicate the chunk types shouldn't
            be taken into account. It should be a list of chunk type ids(integer).
            Default None.
        seq_length(Variable, optional): A 1D Tensor containing the length of each
            sequence when ``input`` and ``label`` are Tensor. It needn't be
            provided if ``input`` and ``label`` are LoDTensor. Default None.

    Returns:
        tuple: A tuple including precision, recall, F1-score, chunk number detected, \
            chunk number in ground-truth, chunk number correctly detected. Each \
            is a Tensor with shape `[1]`. The data type of precision, recall and \
            F1-score all is float32, and the others' data type all is int64.

def softmax(input, use_cudnn=False, name=None, axis=-1):
    """
    This operator implements the softmax layer. The calculation process is as follows:

    1. The dimension :attr:`axis` of the ``input`` will be permuted to the last.
    
    2. Then the input tensor will be logically flattened to a 2-D matrix. The matrix's
    second dimension(row length) is the same as the dimension :attr:`axis` of the input
    tensor, and the first dimension(column length) is the product of all other
    dimensions of the input tensor. For each row of the matrix, the softmax operator
    squashes the K-dimensional(K is the width of the matrix, which is also the size
    of the input tensor's dimension :attr:`axis`) vector of arbitrary real values to a
    K-dimensional vector of real values in the range [0, 1] that add up to 1.

    3. After the softmax operation is completed, the inverse operations of steps 1 and 2 
    are performed to restore the two-dimensional matrix to the same dimension as the ``input``.

    It computes the exponential of the given dimension and the sum of exponential
    values of all the other dimensions in the K-dimensional vector input.
    Then the ratio of the exponential of the given dimension and the sum of
    exponential values of all the other dimensions is the output of the softmax
    operator.

    For each row :math:`i` and each column :math:`j` in the matrix, we have:

    .. math::

        Out[i, j] = \\frac{\exp(X[i, j])}{\sum_j(exp(X[i, j])}

    Where:

    * :math:`X`: Input value, a tensor with NCHW or NHWC format.
    * :math:`W`: Filter value, a tensor with MCHW format.
    * :math:`\\ast`: Convolution operation.

    Args:
        input (Variable): The input is 4-D Tensor with shape [N, C, H, W], the data type 
            of input is float16 or float32 or float64.
        num_filters(int): The number of filter. It is as same as the output
            image channel.
        filter_size (int|tuple): The filter size. If filter_size 
            is a tuple, it must contain two integers, (filter_size_height, 
            filter_size_width). Otherwise, filter_size_height = filter_size_width =\
            filter_size.
        stride (int|tuple): The stride size. It means the stride in convolution. 
            If stride is a tuple, it must contain two integers, (stride_height, stride_width). 
            Otherwise, stride_height = stride_width = stride. Default: stride = 1.
        padding (string|int|list|tuple): The padding size. It means the number of zero-paddings
            on both sides for each dimension.If `padding` is a string, either 'VALID' or
            'SAME' which is the padding algorithm. If padding size is a tuple or list,
            it could be in three forms: `[pad_height, pad_width]` or
            `[pad_height_top, pad_height_bottom, pad_width_left, pad_width_right]`, and when 
            `data_format` is `"NCHW"`, `padding` can be in the form `[[0,0], [0,0],

            Default: padding = 0.
        dilation (int|tuple): The dilation size. It means the spacing between the kernel
            points. If dilation is a tuple, it must contain two integers, (dilation_height, 
            dilation_width). Otherwise, dilation_height = dilation_width = dilation. 
            Default: dilation = 1.
        groups (int): The groups number of the Conv2d Layer. According to grouped
            convolution in Alex Krizhevsky's Deep CNN paper: when group=2,
            the first half of the filters is only connected to the first half
            of the input channels, while the second half of the filters is only
            connected to the second half of the input channels. Default: groups=1.
        param_attr (ParamAttr|None): The parameter attribute for learnable parameters/weights
            of conv2d. If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, conv2d
            will create ParamAttr as param_attr. If the Initializer of the param_attr
            is not set, the parameter is initialized with :math:`Normal(0.0, std)`,
            and the :math:`std` is :math:`(\\frac{2.0 }{filter\_elem\_num})^{0.5}`. Default: None.

            If it is set to False, no bias will be added to the output units.
            If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, conv2d
            will create ParamAttr as bias_attr. If the Initializer of the bias_attr
            is not set, the bias is initialized zero. Default: None.
        use_cudnn (bool): Use cudnn kernel or not, it is valid only when the cudnn
            library is installed. Default: True
        act (str): Activation type, if it is set to None, activation is not appended.
            Default: None
        name(str|None): For detailed information, please refer 
           to :ref:`api_guide_Name`. Usually name is no need to set and 
           None by default.
        data_format (str, optional): Specify the data format of the input, and the data format of the output 
            will be consistent with that of the input. An optional string from: `"NCHW"`, `"NHWC"`.

            `[batch_size, input_channels, input_height, input_width]`.

    Returns:
        A Variable holding Tensor representing the conv2d, whose data type is the 
        same with input. If act is None, the tensor variable storing the convolution 
        result, and if act is not None, the tensor variable storing convolution 
        and non-linearity activation result.

    The convolution3D layer calculates the output based on the input, filter

    Output(Output) are in NCDHW or NDHWC format. Where N is batch size C is the number of
    channels, D is the depth of the feature, H is the height of the feature,
    and W is the width of the feature. Convlution3D is similar with Convlution2D
    but adds one dimension(depth). If bias attribution and activation type are
    provided, bias is added to the output of the convolution, and the
    corresponding activation function is applied to the final result.

    **Batch Normalization Layer**

    Can be used as a normalizer function for convolution or fully_connected operations.
    The required data format for this layer is one of the following:

    1. NHWC `[batch, in_height, in_width, in_channels]`

    2. NCHW `[batch, in_channels, in_height, in_width]`

    Refer to `Batch Normalization: Accelerating Deep Network Training by Reducing
    Internal Covariate Shift <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1502.03167.pdf>`_
    for more details.

    :math:`input` is the input features over a mini-batch.

    ..  math::

        \\mu_{\\beta} &\\gets \\frac{1}{m} \\sum_{i=1}^{m} x_i \\qquad &//\\
        \ mini-batch\ mean \\\\

        moving\_var = moving\_var * momentum + mini-batch\_var * (1. - momentum) 


    moving_mean is global mean and moving_var is global variance.

    When use_global_stats = True, the :math:`\\mu_{\\beta}`
    and :math:`\\sigma_{\\beta}^{2}` are not the statistics of one mini-batch.
    They are global (or running) statistics. (It usually got from the
    pre-trained model.)
    The training and testing (or inference) have the same behavior:

    Note:
        if build_strategy.sync_batch_norm=True, the batch_norm in network will use 
        sync_batch_norm automatically.
        `is_test = True` can only be used in test program and inference program, `is_test` CANNOT be set to True in train program, if you want to use global status from pre_train model in train program, please set `use_global_stats = True`.

    Args:
        input(Variable): The rank of input variable can be 2, 3, 4, 5. The data type 
            is float16 or float32 or float64.
        act(string, Default None): Activation type, linear|relu|prelu|...
        is_test (bool, Default False): A flag indicating whether it is in
            test phrase or not.
        momentum(float|Variable, Default 0.9): The value used for the moving_mean and
            moving_var computation. This should be a float number or a Variable with
            shape [1] and data type as float32. The updated formula is:
            :math:`moving\_mean = moving\_mean * momentum + new\_mean * (1. - momentum)`
            :math:`moving\_var = moving\_var * momentum + new\_var * (1. - momentum)`
            Default is 0.9.
        epsilon(float, Default 1e-05): A value added to the denominator for
            numerical stability. Default is 1e-5.
        param_attr(ParamAttr|None): The parameter attribute for Parameter `scale`
             of batch_norm. If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, batch_norm
	     will create ParamAttr as param_attr, the name of scale can be set in ParamAttr.
	     If the Initializer of the param_attr is not set, the parameter is initialized 
	     with Xavier. Default: None.
        bias_attr(ParamAttr|None): The parameter attribute for the bias of batch_norm.
             If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, batch_norm
	     will create ParamAttr as bias_attr, the name of bias can be set in ParamAttr. 
	     If the Initializer of the bias_attr is not set, the bias is initialized zero. 
	     Default: None.
        data_layout (str, optional): Specify the data format of the input, and the data format of the output 
             will be consistent with that of the input. An optional string from: `"NCHW"`, `"NHWC"`.
             The default is `"NCHW"`. When it is `"NCHW"`, the data is stored in the order of:
             `[batch_size, input_channels, input_height, input_width]`.
        in_place(bool, Default False): Make the input and output of batch norm reuse memory.
        name(str|None): For detailed information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`. 
            Usually name is no need to set and None by default. 
        moving_mean_name(str, Default None): The name of moving_mean which store the global Mean. If it 
            is set to None, batch_norm will save global mean with a random name, otherwise, batch_norm 
            will save global mean with the string.
        moving_variance_name(str, Default None): The name of the moving_variance which store the global Variance.
            If it is set to None, batch_norm will save global variance with a random name, otherwise, batch_norm 
            will save global variance with the string.
        do_model_average_for_mean_and_var(bool, Default True): Whether parameter mean and variance should do model
            average when model average is enabled.
        use_global_stats(bool, Default False): Whether to use global mean and
            variance. In inference or test mode, set use_global_stats to true
            or is_test to true, and the behavior is equivalent.
            In train mode, when setting use_global_stats True, the global mean
            and variance are also used during train period.
    Returns:
        A Variable holding Tensor which is the result after applying batch normalization on the input, 
        has same shape and data type with input.

            or is_test to true, and the behavior is equivalent.
            In train mode, when setting use_global_stats True, the global mean
            and variance are also used during train period.

            is new or empty, the normalization result may be impractical. To avoid this, we add slot_dim to locate 
            the show number and judge if the show number is zero. If so, we choose to skip normalization on this
            embedding.

    - :math:`H`: the number of hidden units in a layers
    - :math:`\\epsilon`: the small value added to the variance to prevent division by zero.
    - :math:`g`: the trainable scale parameter.
    - :math:`b`: the trainable bias parameter.

    The convolution2D transpose layer calculates the output based on the input,

    are in NCHW or NHWC format. Where N is batch size, C is the number of channels,
    H is the height of the feature, and W is the width of the feature.
    Parameters(dilations, strides, paddings) are two elements. These two elements
    represent height and width, respectively. The details of convolution transpose
    layer, please refer to the following explanation and references
    `therein <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.07285.pdf>`_.
    If bias attribution and activation type are provided, bias is added to
    the output of the convolution, and the corresponding activation function
    is applied to the final result.

    For each input :math:`X`, the equation is:

    .. math::

        Out = \sigma (W \\ast X + b)

    Where:

    * :math:`X`: Input value, a 4-D Tensor with NCHW or NHWC format.
    * :math:`W`: Filter value, a 4-D Tensor with MCHW format.
    * :math:`\\ast`: Convolution operation.
    * :math:`b`: Bias value, a 2-D Tensor with shape [M, 1].
    * :math:`\\sigma`: Activation function.
    * :math:`Out`: Output value, a 4-D Tensor with data format 'NCHW' or 'NHWC', the shape of :math:`Out` and :math:`X` may be different.

    Example:

        - Input:

          Input shape: :math:`(N, C_{in}, H_{in}, W_{in})`

          Filter shape: :math:`(C_{in}, C_{out}, H_f, W_f)`

           W_{out} &\in [ W^\prime_{out}, W^\prime_{out} + strides[1] ]

    Note:
          The conv2d_transpose can be seen as the backward of the conv2d. For conv2d, 
          when stride > 1, conv2d maps multiple input shape to the same output shape, 
          so for conv2d_transpose, when stride > 1, input shape maps multiple output shape.

          between :math:`W^\prime_{out}` and :math:`W^\prime_{out} + strides[1]`, 
          conv2d_transpose can compute the kernel size automatically.

    Args:
        input(Variable): 4-D Tensor with [N, C, H, W] or [N, H, W, C] format,
                         its data type is float32 or float64.
        num_filters(int): The number of the filter. It is as same as the output
            image channel.
        output_size(int|tuple, optional): The output image size. If output size is a
            tuple, it must contain two integers, (image_height, image_width). None if use
            filter_size, padding, and stride to calculate output_size.
            If output_size and filter_size are specified at the same time, They
            should follow the formula above. Default: None. output_size and filter_size 
            should not be None at the same time.
        filter_size(int|tuple, optional): The filter size. If filter_size is a tuple,
            it must contain two integers, (filter_size_height, filter_size_width).
            Otherwise, filter_size_height = filter_size_width = filter_size. None if 
            use output size to calculate filter_size. Default: None. filter_size and 
            output_size should not be None at the same time.
        stride(int|tuple, optional): The stride size. It means the stride in transposed convolution. 
            If stride is a tuple, it must contain two integers, (stride_height, stride_width). 
            Otherwise, stride_height = stride_width = stride. Default: stride = 1.
        padding(int|list|str|tuple, optional): The padding size. The padding argument effectively adds
             `dilation * (kernel - 1)` amount of zero-padding on both sides of input. If `padding` is a
             string, either 'VALID' or 'SAME' supported, which is the padding algorithm.
             If `padding` is a tuple or list, it could be in three forms:
             `[pad_height, pad_width]` or
            `[pad_height_top, pad_height_bottom, pad_width_left, pad_width_right]`, and
            when `data_format` is `'NCHW'`,
            `padding` can be in the form `[[0,0], [0,0], [pad_height_top, pad_height_bottom], [pad_width_left, pad_width_right]]`.
            when `data_format` is `'NHWC'`, `padding` can be in the form
            `[[0,0], [pad_height_top, pad_height_bottom], [pad_width_left, pad_width_right], [0,0]]`.
            Default: padding = 0.
        dilation(int|tuple, optional): The dilation size. It means the spacing between the kernel points. 
            If dilation is a tuple, it must contain two integers, (dilation_height, dilation_width). 
            Otherwise, dilation_height = dilation_width = dilation. Default: dilation = 1.
        filter_size(int|tuple, optional): The filter size. If filter_size is a tuple,
            it must contain two integers, (filter_size_height, filter_size_width).
            Otherwise, filter_size_height = filter_size_width = filter_size. None if 
            use output size to calculate filter_size. Default: None.
        groups(int, optional): The groups number of the Conv2d transpose layer. Inspired by
            grouped convolution in Alex Krizhevsky's Deep CNN paper, in which
            when group=2, the first half of the filters is only connected to the
            first half of the input channels, while the second half of the
            filters is only connected to the second half of the input channels.
            Default: groups = 1.
        param_attr (ParamAttr, optional): The parameter attribute for learnable parameters/weights
            of conv2d_transpose. If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, conv2d_transpose
            will create ParamAttr as param_attr. If the Initializer of the param_attr
            is not set, the parameter is initialized with Xavier. Default: None.
        bias_attr (ParamAttr|bool, optional): The parameter attribute for the bias of conv2d_transpose.
            If it is set to False, no bias will be added to the output units.
            If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, conv2d_transpose
            will create ParamAttr as bias_attr. If the Initializer of the bias_attr
            is not set, the bias is initialized zero. Default: None.
        use_cudnn(bool, optional): Use cudnn kernel or not, it is valid only when the cudnn
            library is installed. Default: True.
        act (str, optional): Activation type, if it is set to None, activation is not appended.
            Default: None.
        name(str, optional): For detailed information, please refer 
           to :ref:`api_guide_Name`. Usually name is no need to set and 
           None by default.
        data_format (str, optional): Specify the data format of the input, and the data format of the output 
            will be consistent with that of the input. An optional string from: `"NCHW"`, `"NHWC"`.
            The default is `"NCHW"`. When it is `"NCHW"`, the data is stored in the order of:
            `[batch_size, input_channels, input_height, input_width]`.

    Returns:
        A Variable holding Tensor representing the conv2d_transpose, whose 
        data type is the same with input and shape is (num_batches, channels, out_h, 
        out_w) or (num_batches, out_h, out_w, channels). If act is None, the tensor variable 
        storing the transposed convolution result, and if act is not None, the 
        tensor variable storing transposed convolution and non-linearity activation 
        result.

    """
    The convolution3D transpose layer calculates the output based on the input,
    filter, and dilations, strides, paddings. Input(Input) and output(Output)
    are in NCDHW or NDHWC format. Where N is batch size, C is the number of channels,
    D is the depth of the feature, H is the height of the feature, and W
    is the width of the feature. Parameters(dilations, strides, paddings) are
    two elements. These two elements represent height and width, respectively.
    The details of convolution transpose layer, please refer to the following
    explanation and references `therein <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.07285.pdf>`_.
    If bias attribution and activation type are provided, bias is added to
    the output of the convolution, and the corresponding activation function
    is applied to the final result.

    For each input :math:`X`, the equation is:

    .. math::

        Out = \sigma (W \\ast X + b)

    In the above equation:

    * :math:`X`: Input value, a Tensor with NCDHW or NDHWC format.
    * :math:`W`: Filter value, a Tensor with MCDHW format.
    * :math:`\\ast`: Convolution operation.
    * :math:`b`: Bias value, a 2-D Tensor with shape [M, 1].
    * :math:`\\sigma`: Activation function.
    * :math:`Out`: Output value, the shape of :math:`Out` and :math:`X` may be different.

    Example:

        - Input:

          Input shape: :math:`(N, C_{in}, D_{in}, H_{in}, W_{in})`

          Filter shape: :math:`(C_{in}, C_{out}, D_f, H_f, W_f)`

        - Output:

          Output shape: :math:`(N, C_{out}, D_{out}, H_{out}, W_{out})`

        Where

        .. math::

           D^\prime_{out} &= (D_{in} - 1) * strides[0] - 2 * paddings[0] + dilations[0] * (D_f - 1) + 1 \\\\
           H^\prime_{out} &= (H_{in} - 1) * strides[1] - 2 * paddings[1] + dilations[1] * (H_f - 1) + 1 \\\\
           W^\prime_{out} &= (W_{in} - 1) * strides[2] - 2 * paddings[2] + dilations[2] * (W_f - 1) + 1 \\\\
           D_{out} &\in [ D^\prime_{out}, D^\prime_{out} + strides[0] ] \\\\
           H_{out} &\in [ H^\prime_{out}, H^\prime_{out} + strides[1] ] \\\\
           W_{out} &\in [ W^\prime_{out}, W^\prime_{out} + strides[2] ]

    Note:
          The conv3d_transpose can be seen as the backward of the conv3d. For conv3d, 
          when stride > 1, conv3d maps multiple input shape to the same output shape, 
          so for conv3d_transpose, when stride > 1, input shape maps multiple output shape.
          If output_size is None, :math:`H_{out} = H^\prime_{out}, :math:`H_{out} = \
          H^\prime_{out}, W_{out} = W^\prime_{out}`; else, the :math:`D_{out}` of the output 
          size must between :math:`D^\prime_{out}` and :math:`D^\prime_{out} + strides[0]`, 
          the :math:`H_{out}` of the output size must between :math:`H^\prime_{out}` 
          and :math:`H^\prime_{out} + strides[1]`, and the :math:`W_{out}` of the output size must 
          between :math:`W^\prime_{out}` and :math:`W^\prime_{out} + strides[2]`, 
          conv3d_transpose can compute the kernel size automatically.

    Args:
        input(Variable): The input is 5-D Tensor with shape [N, C, D, H, W] or [N, D, H, W, C], the data type 
            of input is float32 or float64.
        num_filters(int): The number of the filter. It is as same as the output
            image channel.
        output_size(int|tuple, optional): The output image size. If output size is a
            tuple, it must contain three integers, (image_depth, image_height, image_width). This
            parameter only works when filter_size is None. If output_size and filter_size are 
            specified at the same time, They should follow the formula above. Default: None. 
            Output_size and filter_size should not be None at the same time.
        filter_size(int|tuple, optional): The filter size. If filter_size is a tuple,
            it must contain three integers, (filter_size_depth, filter_size_height,
            filter_size_width). Otherwise, filter_size_depth = filter_size_height = \
            filter_size_width = filter_size. None if use output size to
            calculate filter_size. Default: None. filter_size and output_size should not be 
            None at the same time.
        padding(int|list|str|tuple, optional): The padding size. The padding argument effectively
             adds `dilation * (kernel - 1)` amount of zero-padding on both sides of input. If `padding` is a string,
             either 'VALID' or 'SAME' supported, which is the padding algorithm. If `padding`
             is a tuple or list, it could be in three forms: `[pad_depth, pad_height, pad_width]` or
            `[pad_depth_front, pad_depth_back, pad_height_top, pad_height_bottom, pad_width_left, pad_width_right]`,
            and when `data_format` is `'NCDHW'`, `padding` can be in the form
            `[[0,0], [0,0], [pad_depth_front, pad_depth_back], [pad_height_top, pad_height_bottom], [pad_width_left, pad_width_right]]`.
            when `data_format` is `'NDHWC'`, `padding` can be in the form
            `[[0,0], [pad_depth_front, pad_depth_back], [pad_height_top, pad_height_bottom], [pad_width_left, pad_width_right], [0,0]]`.
            Default: padding = 0.
        stride(int|tuple, optional): The stride size. It means the stride in transposed convolution. 
            If stride is a tuple, it must contain three integers, (stride_depth, stride_height, 
            stride_width). Otherwise, stride_depth = stride_height = stride_width = stride. 
            Default: stride = 1.
        dilation(int|tuple, optional): The dilation size. It means the spacing between the kernel points. 
            If dilation is a tuple, it must contain three integers, (dilation_depth, dilation_height, 
            dilation_width). Otherwise, dilation_depth = dilation_height = dilation_width = dilation. 
            Default: dilation = 1.
        groups(int, optional): The groups number of the Conv3d transpose layer. Inspired by
            grouped convolution in Alex Krizhevsky's Deep CNN paper, in which
            when group=2, the first half of the filters is only connected to the
            first half of the input channels, while the second half of the
            filters is only connected to the second half of the input channels.
            Default: groups=1
        param_attr (ParamAttr, optional): The parameter attribute for learnable parameters/weights
            of conv3d_transpose. If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, conv3d_transpose
            will create ParamAttr as param_attr. If the Initializer of the param_attr
            is not set, the parameter is initialized with Xavier. Default: None.
        bias_attr (ParamAttr|bool, optional): The parameter attribute for the bias of conv3d_transpose.
            If it is set to False, no bias will be added to the output units.
            If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, conv3d_transpose
            will create ParamAttr as bias_attr. If the Initializer of the bias_attr
            is not set, the bias is initialized zero. Default: None.
        use_cudnn(bool, optional): Use cudnn kernel or not, it is valid only when the cudnn
            library is installed. Default: True
        act (str, optional): Activation type, if it is set to None, activation is not appended.
            Default: None.
        name(str, optional): For detailed information, please refer 
           to :ref:`api_guide_Name`. Usually name is no need to set and 
           None by default.
        data_format (str, optional): Specify the data format of the input, and the data format of the output 
            will be consistent with that of the input. An optional string from: `"NCHW"`, `"NHWC"`.
            The default is `"NCHW"`. When it is `"NCHW"`, the data is stored in the order of:
            `[batch_size, input_channels, input_height, input_width]`.

    Returns:
        A Variable holding Tensor representing the conv3d_transpose, whose data 
        type is the same with input and shape is (num_batches, channels, out_d, out_h, 
        out_w) or (num_batches, out_d, out_h, out_w, channels). If act is None, the tensor 
        variable storing the transposed convolution result, and if act is not None, the tensor 
        variable storing transposed convolution and non-linearity activation result.

    Raises:
        ValueError: If the type of `use_cudnn` is not bool.
        ValueError: If `data_format` is not "NCDHW" or "NDHWC".
        ValueError: If `padding` is a string, but not "SAME" or "VALID".
        ValueError: If `padding` is a tuple, but the element corresponding to the input's batch size is not 0 
            or the element corresponding to the input's channel is not 0.
        ValueError: If `output_size` and filter_size are None at the same time.
        ShapeError: If the input is not 5-D Tensor.
        ShapeError: If the input's dimension size and filter's dimension size not equal.
        ShapeError: If the dimension size of input minus the size of `stride` is not 2.
        ShapeError: If the number of input channels is not equal to filter's channels.
        ShapeError: If the size of `output_size` is not equal to that of `stride`.

def matmul(x, y, transpose_x=False, transpose_y=False, alpha=1.0, name=None):
    """
    Applies matrix multiplication to two tensors.

    Currently, the input tensors' rank can be any, but when the rank of any
    inputs is bigger than 3, this two inputs' rank should be equal.

    The actual behavior depends on the shapes of :math:`x`, :math:`y` and the
    flag values of :attr:`transpose_x`, :attr:`transpose_y`. Specifically:

    - If a transpose flag is specified, the last two dimensions of the tensor
      are transposed. If the tensor is rank-1 of shape :math:`[D]`, then for
      :math:`x` it is treated as :math:`[1, D]` in nontransposed form and as
      :math:`[D, 1]` in transposed form, whereas for :math:`y` it is the
      opposite: It is treated as :math:`[D, 1]` in nontransposed form and as
      :math:`[1, D]` in transposed form.

    - After transpose, the two tensors are 2-D or n-D and matrix multiplication
      performs in the following way.

      - If both are 2-D, they are multiplied like conventional matrices.
      - If either is n-D, it is treated as a stack of matrices residing in the
        last two dimensions and a batched matrix multiply supporting broadcast
        applies on the two tensors.

    Also note that if the raw tensor :math:`x` or :math:`y` is rank-1 and
    nontransposed, the prepended or appended dimension :math:`1` will be
    removed after matrix multiplication.

    Args:
        x (Variable): The input variable which is a Tensor or LoDTensor.
        y (Variable): The input variable which is a Tensor or LoDTensor.
        transpose_x (bool): Whether to transpose :math:`x` before multiplication.
        transpose_y (bool): Whether to transpose :math:`y` before multiplication.
        alpha (float): The scale of output. Default 1.0.
        name(str|None): A name for this layer(optional). If set None, the layer
            will be named automatically.

    Returns:
        Variable: The product Tensor (or LoDTensor) variable.

    This op is implemented in two modes: lod and padding, either of them can be used.
    The input can be either LoDTensor or Tensor, corresponding to lod and padding 
    mode respectively.

    A simple example as below:

    .. code-block:: text

        Given:
        (1) for lod mode:

        input.data = [[0.6, 0.1, 0.3, 0.1],
                      [0.3, 0.2, 0.4, 0.1],
                      [0.1, 0.5, 0.1, 0.3],
                      [0.5, 0.1, 0.3, 0.1],

                      [0.5, 0.1, 0.3, 0.1],
                      [0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.4],
                      [0.2, 0.2, 0.1, 0.5],
                      [0.5, 0.1, 0.3, 0.1]]

        input.lod = [[4, 4]]

        Computation:

        step1: Apply argmax to first input sequence which is input.data[0:4]. Then we get:
               [[0], [2], [1], [0]]
        step2: merge repeated tokens and remove blank which is 0. Then we get first output sequence:
               [[2], [1]]

        Finally:

        output.data = [[2],
                       [1],
                       [3]]

        output.lod = [[2, 1]]

        (2) for padding mode:

         input.data = [[[0.6, 0.1, 0.3, 0.1],

                        [0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.4],
                        [0.2, 0.2, 0.1, 0.5],

        input_length.data = [[4], [4]]
        input.shape = [2, 4, 4]

        step1: Apply argmax to first input sequence which is input.data[0:4]. Then we get:
               [[0], [2], [1], [0]], for input.data[4:8] is [[0], [3], [3], [0]], shape is [2,4,1]
        step2: Change the argmax result to use padding mode, then argmax result is 
                [[0, 2, 1, 0], [0, 3, 3, 0]], shape is [2, 4], lod is [], input_length is [[4], [4]]
        step3: Apply ctc_align to padding argmax result, padding_value is 0

        Finally:
        output.data = [[2, 1, 0, 0],
                       [3, 0, 0, 0]]
        output_length.data = [[2], [1]]


    Parameters:

        input(Variable): the probabilities of variable-length sequences. When in lod mode, 
                         it is a 2-D LoDTensor with LoD information. It's shape is [Lp, num_classes + 1] 
                         where Lp is the sum of all input sequences' length and
                         num_classes is the true number of classes. When in padding mode,
                         it is a 3-D Tensor with padding, It's shape is [batch_size, N, num_classes + 1].
                         (not including the blank label). The data type can be float32 or float64.
        blank(int): the blank label index of Connectionist Temporal
                    Classification (CTC) loss, which is in the half-opened
                    interval [0, num_classes + 1).
        input_length(Variable, optional): 2-D LoDTensor, shape is [batch_size, 1], data type is int64.
                                 It is used for padding mode. In lod mode, input_length is None.
        padding_value(int): padding value.
        name(str, optional): The default value is None.  
                             Normally there is no need for user to set this property.  
                             For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name` 

    Returns:
        For lod mode, returns the result of CTC greedy decoder, 2-D LoDTensor, shape is [Lp, 1], \
        data type is int64. 'Lp' is the sum of all output sequences' length. If all the sequences \
        in result were empty, the result LoDTensor will be [-1] with  empty \
        LoD [[]].

        For padding mode, returns a tuple of (output, output_length), which was described as below: 

        output, 2-D Tensor, shape is [batch_size, N], data type is int64.

        output_length, 2-D Tensor, shape is [batch_size, 1], data type is int64. It is the length of \
                           each sequence of output for padding mode.

    Return type:
        For lod mode: Variable

        For padding mode: tuple of two Variables (output, output_length).

def reshape(x, shape, actual_shape=None, act=None, inplace=False, name=None):
    """
    This operator changes the shape of ``x`` without changing its data.

    The target shape can be given by ``shape`` or ``actual_shape``.
    When ``shape`` and ``actual_shape`` are set at the same time,
    ``actual_shape`` has a higher priority than ``shape``
    but at this time ``shape`` can only be an integer list or tuple, and ``shape`` still should be set correctly to
    guarantee shape inference in compile-time.

    Some tricks exist when specifying the target shape.

    1. -1 means the value of this dimension is inferred from the total element
    number of x and remaining dimensions. Thus one and only one dimension can
    be set -1.

    2. 0 means the actual dimension value is going to be copied from the
    corresponding dimension of x. The index of 0s in shape can not exceed
    the dimension of x.

    Here are some examples to explain it.

    1. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape
    is [6, 8], the reshape operator will transform x into a 2-D tensor with
    shape [6, 8] and leaving x's data unchanged.

    2. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape
    specified is [2, 3, -1, 2], the reshape operator will transform x into a
    4-D tensor with shape [2, 3, 4, 2] and leaving x's data unchanged. In this
    case, one dimension of the target shape is set to -1, the value of this
    dimension is inferred from the total element number of x and remaining
    dimensions.

    3. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape
    is [-1, 0, 3, 2], the reshape operator will transform x into a 4-D tensor
    with shape [2, 4, 3, 2] and leaving x's data unchanged. In this case,
    besides -1, 0 means the actual dimension value is going to be copied from
    the corresponding dimension of x.

    **Note**:
        The parameter ``actual_shape`` will be deprecated in the future and only use ``shape`` instead to represent the target shape.

    Args:
        x(Variable): A ``Tensor`` or ``LoDTensor`` . The data type is ``float32``, ``float64``, ``int32`` or ``int64``.
        shape(list|tuple|Variable): Define the target shape. At most one dimension of the target shape can be -1.
                        The data type is ``int32`` . If ``shape`` is a list or tuple, the elements of it should be integers or Tensors with shape [1].
                        If ``shape`` is an Variable, it should be an 1-D Tensor .
        actual_shape(variable, optional): An 1-D ``Tensor`` or ``LoDTensor`` . The data type is ``int32`` . If provided, reshape
                                according to this given shape rather than ``shape`` specifying shape.
                                That is to say ``actual_shape`` has a higher priority
                                than ``shape(list|tuple)`` but not ``shape(Variable)``. \
                                This argument ``actual_shape`` will be removed in a future version. \
                                Instructions for updating: ``actual_shape`` will be removed in future versions and replaced by ``shape``.
        act (str, optional): The non-linear activation to be applied to the reshaped input. Default None.
        inplace(bool, optional): If ``inplace`` is True, the input and output of ``layers.reshape``
                       are the same variable. Otherwise, the input and output of
                       ``layers.reshape`` are different variable. Default False. Note that if ``x``
                       is more than one OPs' input, ``inplace`` must be False.
        name(str, optional): The default value is None. Normally there is no need for user to set this property.
                            For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name` .

    Returns:
        Variable: A ``Tensor`` or ``LoDTensor``. The data type is same as ``x``. It is a new tensor variable if ``inplace`` is ``False``, otherwise it is ``x``. If ``act`` is None, return the reshaped tensor variable, otherwise return the activated tensor variable.

    Raises:
        TypeError: If actual_shape is neither Variable nor None.
        ValueError: If more than one elements of ``shape`` is -1.
        ValueError: If the element of ``shape`` is 0, the corresponding dimension should be less than or equal to the dimension of ``x``.
        ValueError: If the elements in ``shape`` is negative except -1.

    Label smoothing is a mechanism to regularize the classifier layer and is called 
    label-smoothing regularization (LSR). 

    Label smoothing is proposed to encourage the model to be less confident,
    since optimizing the log-likelihood of the correct label directly may
    cause overfitting and reduce the ability of the model to adapt. Label
    smoothing replaces the ground-truth label :math:`y` with the weighted sum
    of itself and some fixed distribution :math:`\mu`. For class :math:`k`,
    i.e.

    .. math::

        \\tilde{y_k} = (1 - \epsilon) * y_k + \epsilon * \mu_k,

    where :math:`1 - \epsilon` and :math:`\epsilon` are the weights
    respectively, and :math:`\\tilde{y}_k` is the smoothed label. Usually
    uniform distribution is used for :math:`\mu`.

    See more details about label smoothing in https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.00567.

    Parameters:
        label(Variable): The input variable containing the label data. The

    Supporting resample methods:

        'BILINEAR' : Bilinear interpolation

        'TRILINEAR' : Trilinear interpolation

        'NEAREST' : Nearest neighbor interpolation

    Nearest neighbor interpolation is to perform nearest neighbor interpolation
    in both the 3rd dimension(in height direction) and the 4th dimension(in width 
    direction) on input tensor.
            
    Bilinear interpolation is an extension of linear interpolation for 
    interpolating functions of two variables (e.g. H-direction and 
    W-direction in this op) on a rectilinear 2D grid. The key idea is 
    to perform linear interpolation first in one direction, and then 
    again in the other direction.

    Trilinear interpolation is an extension of linear interpolation for 
    interpolating functions of three variables (e.g. D-direction, 
    H-direction and W-direction in this op) on a rectilinear 3D grid. 
    The linear interpolation is performed on three directions.

    Align_corners and align_mode are optional parameters,the calculation method 
    of interpolation can be selected by them.

    Example:

    .. code-block:: text

        For scale:
          
            if align_corners = True && out_size > 1 :

              scale_factor = (in_size-1.0)/(out_size-1.0)

              scale_factor = float(in_size/out_size)

    Parameters:
        input (Variable): 4-D or 5-D Tensor, its data type is float32, float64, or uint8,
                          its data format is specified by :attr:`data_format`.
        out_shape(list|tuple|Variable|None): Output shape of image resize
             layer, the shape is (out_h, out_w) when input is a 4-D Tensor and is
             (out_d, out_h, out_w) when input is a 5-D Tensor. Default: None. If 
             a list, each element can be an integer or a Tensor Variable of shape: [1].
             If a Tensor Variable, its dimensions size should be a 1.
        scale(float|Variable|None): The multiplier for the input height or width. At
             least one of :attr:`out_shape` or :attr:`scale` must be set.
             And :attr:`out_shape` has a higher priority than :attr:`scale`.
             Default: None.
        name(str|None): A name for this layer(optional). If set None, the layer
                        will be named automatically.
        resample(str): The resample method. It supports 'BILINEAR', 'TRILINEAR'
                       and 'NEAREST' currently. Default: 'BILINEAR'
        actual_shape(Variable): An optional input to specify output shape
                                dynamically. If provided, image resize
                                according to this given shape rather than
                                :attr:`out_shape` and :attr:`scale` specifying
                                shape. That is to say actual_shape has the
                                highest priority. It is recommended to use
                                :attr:`out_shape` if you want to specify output 
                                shape dynamically, because :attr:`actual_shape` 
                                will be deprecated. When using actual_shape to 
                                specify output shape, one of :attr:`out_shape` 
                                and :attr:`scale` should also be set, otherwise 
                                errors would be occurred in graph constructing stage.
                                Default: None
        align_corners(bool) :  An optional bool, If True, the centers of the 4 corner pixels of the 
                               input and output tensors are aligned, preserving the values at the 
                               corner pixels.
                               Default: True
        align_mode(int)  :  An optional for bilinear interpolation. can be \'0\' 
                            for src_idx = scale*(dst_indx+0.5)-0.5 , can be \'1\' for 
                            src_idx = scale*dst_index.
        data_format (str, optional): Specify the data format of the input, and the data format of the output 
            will be consistent with that of the input. An optional string from: `"NCHW"`, `"NHWC"`, `"NCDHW"`,
            `"NDHWC"`. The default is `"NCHW"`. When it is `"NCHW"`, the data is stored in the order of:
            `[batch_size, input_channels, input_height, input_width]`. When it is `"NCHW"`, the data is stored 
            in the order of: `[batch_size, input_channels, input_depth, input_height, input_width]`.

    Returns:
        A 4-D Tensor of the shape (num_batches, channels, out_h, out_w) or (num_batches, out_h, out_w, channels),
        or 5-D Tensor of the shape (num_batches, channels, out_d, out_h, out_w) or (num_batches, out_d, out_h, out_w, channels).

    Raises:
        TypeError: out_shape should be a list or tuple or Variable.
        TypeError: actual_shape should either be Variable or None.
        ValueError: The 'resample' of image_resize can only be 'BILINEAR',

    This op resizes the input by performing bilinear interpolation based on given
    output shape which specified by actual_shape, out_shape and scale
    in priority order.

    **Warning:** the parameter :attr:`actual_shape` will be deprecated in 
    the future and only use :attr:`out_shape` instead.

    Bilinear interpolation is an extension of linear interpolation for
    interpolating functions of two variables (e.g. H-direction and
    W-direction in this op) on a rectilinear 2D grid. The key idea is
    to perform linear interpolation first in one direction, and then
    again in the other direction.

    For details of bilinear interpolation, please refer to Wikipedia:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilinear_interpolation

    Align_corners and align_mode are optional parameters,the calculation 
    method of interpolation can be selected by them.

    Example:

    .. code-block:: text

        For scale:
          
            if align_corners = True && out_size > 1 :

              scale_factor = (in_size-1.0)/(out_size-1.0)
            
            else:
              
              scale_factor = float(in_size/out_size)

        Bilinear interpolation:

          if:
              align_corners = False , align_mode = 0
              
              input : (N,C,H_in,W_in)
              output: (N,C,H_out,W_out) where:
              
              H_out = (H_{in}+0.5) * scale_{factor} - 0.5
              W_out = (W_{in}+0.5) * scale_{factor} - 0.5

          else:

              input : (N,C,H_in,W_in)
              output: (N,C,H_out,W_out) where:
              H_out = H_{in} * scale_{factor}
              W_out = W_{in} * scale_{factor}

    Parameters:
        input(Variable): 4-D Tensor(NCHW), its data type is float32, float64, or uint8,
                          its data format is specified by :attr:`data_format`.
        out_shape(list|tuple|Variable|None): Output shape of resize bilinear
            layer, the shape is (out_h, out_w).Default: None. If a list, each 
            element can be an integer or a Tensor Variable with shape: [1]. If a 
            Tensor Variable, its dimension size should be 1.
        scale(float|Variable|None): The multiplier for the input height or width. At
             least one of :attr:`out_shape` or :attr:`scale` must be set. 
             And :attr:`out_shape` has a higher priority than :attr:`scale`. 
             Default: None.
        actual_shape(Variable): An optional input to specify output shape
                                dynamically. If provided, image resize
                                according to this given shape rather than
                                :attr:`out_shape` and :attr:`scale` specifying
                                shape. That is to say actual_shape has the
                                highest priority. It is recommended to use
                                :attr:`out_shape` if you want to specify output 
                                shape dynamically, because :attr:`actual_shape` 
                                will be deprecated. When using actual_shape to 
                                specify output shape, one of :attr:`out_shape` 
                                and :attr:`scale` should also be set, otherwise 
                                errors would be occurred in graph constructing stage.
                                Default: None
        align_corners(bool): ${align_corners_comment}
        align_mode(bool): ${align_mode_comment}
        data_format (str, optional): Specify the data format of the input, and the data format of the output 
            will be consistent with that of the input. An optional string from: `"NCHW"`, `"NHWC"`.
            The default is `"NCHW"`. When it is `"NCHW"`, the data is stored in the order of:
            `[batch_size, input_channels, input_height, input_width]`.
        name(str, optional): The default value is None.  Normally there is no need for user to set this property.  For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`

    Returns:
	Variable: 4-D tensor(NCHW or NHWC).

    Parameters:
        x (Variable): Tensor, data type can be float32 or float64.
        shape (Variable|list/tuple of integers): The output shape is specified
            by `shape`, which can be a Tensor or a list/tuple of integers.
            If it is a Tensor, it's rank must be the same as `x` , only 
            it's shape will be used, and the value of it will be ignored. This way
            is suitable for the case that the output shape may be changed each
            iteration. If it is a list/tuple of integers, it's length must be the same
            as the rank of `x`
        offsets (Variable|list/tuple of integers|None): Specifies the cropping
            offsets at each dimension. It can be a Tensor or a list/tuple
            of integers. If it is a Tensor, it's rank must be the same as `x`.
            This way is suitable for the case that the offsets may be changed
            each iteration. If it is a list/tuple of integers, it's length must be the
            same as the rank of `x`. If None, the offsets are 0 at each dimension.
        name(str, optional): For detailed information, please refer 
            to :ref:`api_guide_Name` . Usually name is no need to set and 
            None by default. 

    Returns:
        The cropped Tensor, which has the same rank and data type with `x`

    Return Type:

def slice(input, axes, starts, ends):
    """
    This operator produces a slice of ``input`` along multiple axes. Similar to numpy:
    https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.indexing.html
    Slice uses ``axes``, ``starts`` and ``ends`` attributes to specify the start and
    end dimension for each axis in the list of axes and Slice uses this information
    to slice the input data tensor. If a negative value is passed to
    ``starts`` or ``ends`` such as :math:`-i`,  it represents the reverse position of the
    axis :math:`i-1` (here 0 is the initial position).
    If the value passed to ``starts`` or ``ends`` is greater than n
    (the number of elements in this dimension), it represents n.
    For slicing to the end of a dimension with unknown size, it is recommended
    to pass in INT_MAX. The size of ``axes`` must be equal to ``starts`` and ``ends``.
    Following examples will explain how slice works:

def strided_slice(input, axes, starts, ends, strides):
    """
    This operator produces a slice of ``input`` along multiple axes. Similar to numpy:
    https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.indexing.html
    Slice uses ``axes``, ``starts`` and ``ends`` attributes to specify the start and
    end dimension for each axis in the list of axes and Slice uses this information
    to slice the input data tensor. If a negative value is passed to
    ``starts`` or ``ends`` such as :math:`-i`,  it represents the reverse position of the
    axis :math:`i-1` th(here 0 is the initial position). The ``strides`` represents steps of
    slicing and if the ``strides`` is negative, slice operation is in the opposite direction.
    If the value passed to ``starts`` or ``ends`` is greater than n
    (the number of elements in this dimension), it represents n.
    For slicing to the end of a dimension with unknown size, it is recommended
    to pass in INT_MAX. The size of ``axes`` must be equal to ``starts`` , ``ends`` and ``strides``.
    Following examples will explain how strided_slice works:

    Scale operator.

    Putting scale and bias to the input Tensor as following:

    ``bias_after_scale`` is True:

    .. math::
                            Out=scale*X+bias

    ``bias_after_scale`` is False:

    .. math::
                            Out=scale*(X+bias)

    Args:
        x(Variable): Input N-D Tensor of scale operator. Data type can be float32, float64, int8, int16, int32, int64, uint8.
        scale(float|Variable): The scale factor of the input, it should be a float number or a Variable with shape [1] and data type as float32.
        bias(float): The bias to be put on the input.
        bias_after_scale(bool): Apply bias addition after or before scaling. It is useful for numeric stability in some circumstances.
        act(str, optional): Activation applied to the output such as tanh, softmax, sigmoid, relu.
        name(str, optional): The default value is None. Normally there is no need for user to set this property.  For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name` 

    Returns:
        Variable(Tensor|LoDTensor): Output tensor of scale operator, with shape and data type same as input.

    Mul Operator.
    This operator is used to perform matrix multiplication for input $x$ and $y$.
    The equation is:

    ..  math::
        Out = x * y

    Both the input $x$ and $y$ can carry the LoD (Level of Details) information, or not. But the output only shares the LoD information with input $x$.

    Args:
        x (Variable): The first input Tensor/LoDTensor of mul_op.
        y (Variable): The second input Tensor/LoDTensor of mul_op.
        x_num_col_dims (int, optional): The mul_op can take tensors with more than two dimensions as its inputs. If the input $x$ is a tensor with more than two dimensions, $x$ will be flattened into a two-dimensional matrix first. The flattening rule is: the first `num_col_dims` will be flattened to form the first dimension of the final matrix (the height of the matrix), and the rest `rank(x) - num_col_dims` dimensions are flattened to form the second dimension of the final matrix (the width of the matrix). As a result, height of the flattened matrix is equal to the product of $x$'s first `x_num_col_dims` dimensions' sizes, and width of the flattened matrix is equal to the product of $x$'s last `rank(x) - num_col_dims` dimensions' size. For example, suppose $x$ is a 6-dimensional tensor with the shape [2, 3, 4, 5, 6], and `x_num_col_dims` = 3. Thus, the flattened matrix will have a shape [2 x 3 x 4, 5 x 6] = [24, 30]. Default is 1. 
        y_num_col_dims (int, optional): The mul_op can take tensors with more than two dimensions as its inputs. If the input $y$ is a tensor with more than two dimensions, $y$ will be flattened into a two-dimensional matrix first. The attribute `y_num_col_dims` determines how $y$ is flattened. See comments of `x_num_col_dims` for more details. Default is 1. 
        name (str, optional): Name of the output. Normally there is no need for user to set this property. For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`. Default is None.

    """
    This OP is used to register customized Python OP to Paddle Fluid. The design 
    principe of py_func is that LodTensor and numpy array can be converted to each
    other easily. So you can use Python and numpy API to register a python OP.

    The forward  function of the registered OP is ``func`` and the backward function 
    of that is  ``backward_func``. Paddle will call ``func`` at forward runtime and 
    call ``backward_func`` at backward runtime(if ``backward_func`` is not  None). 
    ``x`` is the input of ``func``, whose type must be LoDTensor; ``out`` is 
    the output of ``func``, whose type can be either LoDTensor or numpy array.

    The input of the backward function ``backward_func`` is ``x``, ``out`` and 
    the gradient of ``out``. If some variables of ``out`` have no gradient, the 
    relevant input variable of ``backward_func`` is None. If some variables of 
    ``x`` do not have a gradient, the user should return None in ``backward_func``.

    The data type and shape of ``out`` should also be set correctly before this 
    API is called, and the data type and shape of the gradient of ``out`` and 
    ``x`` will be inferred automatically.

    This API can also be used to debug the neural network by setting the ``func``
    as a function that only print variables.

    Args:
        func (callable): The forward function of the registered OP. When the network
            is running, the forward output ``out`` will be calculated according to this 
            function and the forward input ``x``. In ``func`` , it's suggested that we 
            actively convert LoDTensor into a numpy array, so that we can use Python and
            numpy API arbitrarily. If not, some operations of numpy may not be compatible.
        x (Variable|tuple(Variale)|list[Variale]): The input of the forward function ``func``. 
            It can be Variable|tuple(Variale)|list[Variale], where Variable is LoDTensor or 
            Tenosor. In addition, Multiple Variable should be passed in the form of tuple(Variale)
            or list[Variale].
        out (Variable|tuple(Variale)|list[Variale]): The output of the forward function ``func``, 
            it can be Variable|tuple(Variale)|list[Variale], where Variable can be either LoDTensor
            or numpy array. Since Paddle cannot automatically infer the shape and type of ``out``, 
            you must create ``out`` in advance.
        backward_func (callable, optional): The backward function of the registered OP. 
            Its default value is None, which means there is no reverse calculation. If 
            it is not None, ``backward_func`` is called to calculate the gradient of 
            ``x`` when the network is at backward runtime.
        skip_vars_in_backward_input (Variable, optional): It's used to limit the input 
            variable list of ``backward_func``, and it can be Variable|tuple(Variale)|list[Variale]. 
            It must belong to either ``x`` or ``out``. The default  value is None, which means 
            that no variables need to be removed from ``x`` and ``out``. If it is not None, 
            these variables will not be the input of ``backward_func``. This parameter is only 
            useful when ``backward_func`` is not None.
    
    Returns: 
        Variable|tuple(Variale)|list[Variale]: The output ``out`` of the forward function ``func``.

    **Deformable Convolution op**

    Compute 2-D deformable convolution on 4-D input.
    Given input image x, output feature map y, the deformable convolution operation can be expressed as follow:
   
    
    Deformable Convolution v2: 
    
    .. math::

        y(p) = \sum_{k=1}^{K}{w_k * x(p + p_k + \Delta p_k) * \Delta m_k}

    Deformable Convolution v1:
    
    .. math::

        y(p) = \sum_{k=1}^{K}{w_k * x(p + p_k + \Delta p_k)}
    
    Where :math:`\Delta p_k` and :math:`\Delta m_k` are the learnable offset and modulation scalar for the k-th location, 
    Which :math:`\Delta m_k` is one in deformable convolution v1. Please refer to `Deformable ConvNets v2: More Deformable, Better Results
    <https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.11168v2>`_ and `Deformable Convolutional Networks <https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.06211>`_.
    
    Example:
        - Input:

          Input shape: :math:`(N, C_{in}, H_{in}, W_{in})`

          Filter shape: :math:`(C_{out}, C_{in}, H_f, W_f)`

          Offset shape: :math:`(N, 2 * deformable\_groups * H_f * H_w, H_{in}, W_{in})`

          Mask shape: :math:`(N, deformable\_groups * H_f * H_w, H_{in}, W_{in})`

        - Output:

          Output shape: :math:`(N, C_{out}, H_{out}, W_{out})`

        Where

        .. math::

            H_{out}&= \\frac{(H_{in} + 2 * paddings[0] - (dilations[0] * (H_f - 1) + 1))}{strides[0]} + 1 \\\\
            W_{out}&= \\frac{(W_{in} + 2 * paddings[1] - (dilations[1] * (W_f - 1) + 1))}{strides[1]} + 1

    Args:
        input (Variable): The input image with [N, C, H, W] format. A Tensor with type
            float32, float64.
        offset (Variable): The input coordinate offset of deformable convolution layer.
            A Tensor with type float32, float64.
        Mask (Variable, Optional): The input mask of deformable convolution layer.
            A Tensor with type float32, float64. It should be None when you use
            deformable convolution v1.
        num_filters(int): The number of filter. It is as same as the output
            image channel.
        filter_size (int|tuple): The filter size. If filter_size is a tuple,
            it must contain two integers, (filter_size_H, filter_size_W).
            Otherwise, the filter will be a square.
        stride (int|tuple): The stride size. If stride is a tuple, it must
            contain two integers, (stride_H, stride_W). Otherwise, the
            stride_H = stride_W = stride. Default: stride = 1.
        padding (int|tuple): The padding size. If padding is a tuple, it must
            contain two integers, (padding_H, padding_W). Otherwise, the
            padding_H = padding_W = padding. Default: padding = 0.
        dilation (int|tuple): The dilation size. If dilation is a tuple, it must
            contain two integers, (dilation_H, dilation_W). Otherwise, the
            dilation_H = dilation_W = dilation. Default: dilation = 1.
        groups (int): The groups number of the deformable conv layer. According to
            grouped convolution in Alex Krizhevsky's Deep CNN paper: when group=2,
            the first half of the filters is only connected to the first half
            of the input channels, while the second half of the filters is only
            connected to the second half of the input channels. Default: groups=1.
        deformable_groups (int): The number of deformable group partitions.
            Default: deformable_groups = 1.
        im2col_step (int): Maximum number of images per im2col computation; 
            The total batch size should be devisable by this value or smaller
            than this value; if you face out of memory problem, you can try
            to use a smaller value here.
            Default: im2col_step = 64.
        param_attr (ParamAttr, Optional): The parameter attribute for learnable parameters/weights
            of deformable conv. If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr,
            deformable conv will create ParamAttr as param_attr.
            If the Initializer of the param_attr is not set, the parameter is
            initialized with :math:`Normal(0.0, std)`, and the 
            :math:`std` is :math:`(\\frac{2.0 }{filter\_elem\_num})^{0.5}`. Default: None.
        bias_attr (ParamAttr|bool, Optional): The parameter attribute for the bias of
            deformable conv layer. If it is set to False, no bias will be added
            to the output units. If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, conv2d
            will create ParamAttr as bias_attr. If the Initializer of the bias_attr
            is not set, the bias is initialized zero. Default: None.
        modulated (bool): Make sure which version should be used between v1 and v2, where v2 is \
            used while True. Default: True.
        name(str, Optional): For details, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.
                        Generally, no setting is required. Default: None.
    Returns:
        Variable: The tensor variable storing the deformable convolution \
                  result. A Tensor with type float32, float64.
    Raises:
        ValueError: If the shapes of input, filter_size, stride, padding and
                    groups mismatch.

    roi pooling so that pooling at correct region. Batch_size will change to the number of region bounding boxes after deformable_roi_pooling.
  
    The operation has three steps:
    
    1. Dividing each region proposal into equal-sized sections with the pooled_width and pooled_height.
  
    2. Add offset to pixel in ROI to get new location and the new value which are computed directly through
       bilinear interpolation with four nearest pixel.
     
    3. Sample several points in each bin to get average values as output.

                         H is height of the feature, and W is the width of the feature.
        rois (Variable): ROIs (Regions of Interest) with type float32 to pool over. It should be
                         a 2-D LoDTensor of shape (num_rois, 4), and the lod level

                         right coordinates, which value type is float32.
        trans (Variable): Offset of features on ROIs while pooling which value type is float32. The format is [N, C, H, W], where 
                          N is number of ROIs, C is number of channels, which indicate the offset distance 
                          in the x and y directions, H is pooled height, and W is pooled width. 
        no_trans (bool): Whether to add offset to get new value or not while roi pooling, which value with type bool is True or False.
