    **Fully Connected Layer**

    This function creates a fully connected layer in the network. It can take
    one or multiple tensors as its inputs(input can be a list of Variable, see
    Args in detail). It creates a variable called weights 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 [M, `size`],
    where M is batch size. If multiple input tensors are given, the results of
    multiple output tensors with shape [M, `size`] will be summed up. If bias_attr
    is not None, a bias variable will be created and added to the output.
    Finally, if activation is not None, it will be applied to the output as well.

    When the input is single tensor:

    .. math::

        Out = Act({XW + b})

    When the input are multiple tensors:

    .. 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.

    See below for an example.

    .. code-block:: text

        Given:
            data_1.data = [[[0.1, 0.2],
                           [0.3, 0.4]]]
            data_1.shape = (1, 2, 2) # 1 is batch_size

            data_2 = [[[0.1, 0.2, 0.3]]]
            data_2.shape = (1, 1, 3)

            out = fluid.layers.fc(input=[data_1, data_2], size=2)

        Then:
            out.data = [[0.18669507, 0.1893476]]
            out.shape = (1, 2)

    Args:
        input (Variable|list of Variable): The input tensor(s) of this layer, and the dimension of
            the input tensor(s) is at least 2.
        size(int): The number of output units in this layer.
        num_flatten_dims (int, default 1): 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-dimensional matrix. The parameter `num_flatten_dims` determines how the input
            tensor is flattened: the first `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 `rank(X) - num_flatten_dims` dimensions are flattened to
            form the second dimension of the final matrix (width of the matrix). For example, suppose
            `X` is a 5-dimensional tensor with a shape [2, 3, 4, 5, 6], and `num_flatten_dims` = 3.
            Then, the flattened matrix will have a shape [2 x 3 x 4, 5 x 6] = [24, 30].
        param_attr (ParamAttr|list of ParamAttr, default None): The parameter attribute for learnable
            parameters/weights of this layer.
        bias_attr (ParamAttr|list of ParamAttr, default None): The parameter attribute for the bias
            of this layer. If it is set to False, no bias will be added to the output units.
            If it is set to None, the bias is initialized zero. Default: None.
        act (str, default None): Activation to be applied to the output of this layer.
        is_test(bool): A flag indicating whether execution is in test phase.
        name (str, default None): The name of this layer.

    Returns:
        Variable: The transformation result.

    **Embedding Layer**

    A four-gate Long Short-Term Memory network with no peephole connections.
    In the forward pass the output ht and cell output ct for a given iteration can be computed from the recurrent input ht-1,
    the cell input ct-1 and the previous layer input xt given matrices W, R and biases bW, bR from the following equations:

    .. math::

       i_t &= \sigma(W_{ix}x_{t} + W_{ih}h_{t-1} + bx_i + bh_i)

       f_t &= \sigma(W_{fx}x_{t} + W_{fh}h_{t-1} + bx_f + bh_f)

       \\tilde{c_t} &= tanh(W_{cx}x_t + W_{ch}h_{t-1} + bx_c + bh_c)

       c_t &= f_t \odot c_{t-1} + i_t \odot \\tilde{c_t}

      of weights from the input gate to the input)
    - The b terms denote bias vectors ($bx_i$ and $bh_i$ are the input gate bias vector).
    - sigmoid is the logistic sigmoid function.

      and cell activation vectors, respectively, all of which have the same size as
      the cell output activation vector $h$.

    **Dynamic LSTMP Layer**

    LSTMP (LSTM with recurrent projection) layer has a separate projection
    layer after the LSTM layer, projecting the original hidden state to a
    lower-dimensional one, which is proposed to reduce the number of total
    parameters and furthermore computational complexity for the LSTM,
    espeacially for the case that the size of output units is relative
    large (https://research.google.com/pubs/archive/43905.pdf).

    The formula is as follows:

    .. math::

        i_t & = \sigma(W_{ix}x_{t} + W_{ir}r_{t-1} + W_{ic}c_{t-1} + b_i)

        f_t & = \sigma(W_{fx}x_{t} + W_{fr}r_{t-1} + W_{fc}c_{t-1} + b_f)

        \\tilde{c_t} & = act_g(W_{cx}x_t + W_{cr}r_{t-1} + b_c)

        o_t & = \sigma(W_{ox}x_{t} + W_{or}r_{t-1} + W_{oc}c_t + b_o)

        c_t & = f_t \odot c_{t-1} + i_t \odot \\tilde{c_t}

        h_t & = o_t \odot act_h(c_t)

        r_t & = \overline{act_h}(W_{rh}h_t)

    In the above formula:

    * :math:`W`: Denotes weight matrices (e.g. :math:`W_{xi}` is \
          the matrix of weights from the input gate to the input).
    * :math:`W_{ic}`, :math:`W_{fc}`, :math:`W_{oc}`: Diagonal weight \
          matrices for peephole connections. In our implementation, \
          we use vectors to reprenset these diagonal weight matrices.
    * :math:`b`: Denotes bias vectors (e.g. :math:`b_i` is the input gate \
          bias vector).
    * :math:`\sigma`: The activation, such as logistic sigmoid function.
    * :math:`i, f, o` and :math:`c`: The input gate, forget gate, output \
          gate, and cell activation vectors, respectively, all of which have \
          the same size as the cell output activation vector :math:`h`.
    * :math:`h`: The hidden state.
    * :math:`r`: The recurrent projection of the hidden state.
    * :math:`\\tilde{c_t}`: The candidate hidden state, whose \
          computation is based on the current input and previous hidden state.
    * :math:`\odot`: The element-wise product of the vectors.
    * :math:`act_g` and :math:`act_h`: The cell input and cell output \
          activation functions and `tanh` is usually used for them.
    * :math:`\overline{act_h}`: The activation function for the projection \
          output, usually using `identity` or same as :math:`act_h`.

    Set `use_peepholes` to `False` to disable peephole connection. The formula
    is omitted here, please refer to the paper
    http://www.bioinf.jku.at/publications/older/2604.pdf for details.

    Note that these :math:`W_{xi}x_{t}, W_{xf}x_{t}, W_{xc}x_{t}, W_{xo}x_{t}`
    operations on the input :math:`x_{t}` are NOT included in this operator.

    if origin_mode is False, then the equation of a gru step is from paper
    `Empirical Evaluation of Gated Recurrent Neural Networks on Sequence
    Modeling <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1412.3555.pdf>`_ .

    The formula is as follows:

    .. math::

        u_t & = act_g(W_{ux}x_{t} + W_{uh}h_{t-1} + b_u)

        r_t & = act_g(W_{rx}x_{t} + W_{rh}h_{t-1} + b_r)

        \\tilde{h_t} & = act_c(W_{cx}x_{t} + W_{ch}(r_t \odot h_{t-1}) + b_c)

        h_t & = (1-u_t) \odot h_{t-1} + u_t \odot \\tilde{h_t}


    if origin_mode is True then the equation is from paper
    Learning Phrase Representations using RNN Encoder-Decoder for Statistical
    Machine Translation <https://arxiv.org/pdf/1406.1078.pdf>`_

    .. math::

        u_t & = act_g(W_{ux}x_{t} + W_{uh}h_{t-1} + b_u)

        r_t & = act_g(W_{rx}x_{t} + W_{rh}h_{t-1} + b_r)

        \\tilde{h_t} & = act_c(W_{cx}x_{t} + W_{ch}(r_t \odot h_{t-1}) + b_c)

        h_t & = u_t \odot h_{t-1} + (1-u_t) \odot \\tilde{h_t}

    The :math:`\odot` is the element-wise product of the vectors. :math:`act_g`
    is the update gate and reset gate activation function and :math:`sigmoid`
    is usually used for it. :math:`act_c` is the activation function for
    candidate hidden state and :math:`tanh` is usually used for it.

    Note that these :math:`W_{ux}x_{t}, W_{rx}x_{t}, W_{cx}x_{t}` operations on
    the input :math:`x_{t}` are NOT included in this operator. Users can choose
    to use fully-connect layer before GRU layer.

    Args:
        input(Variable): The input of dynamic_gru layer, which supports
            variable-time length input sequence. The underlying tensor in this
            Variable is a matrix with shape :math:`(T \\times 3D)`, where
            :math:`T` is the total time steps in this mini-batch, :math:`D`
            is the hidden size.
        size(int): The dimension of the gru cell.
        param_attr(ParamAttr|None): The parameter attribute for the learnable
            hidden-hidden weight matrix. Note:

            - The shape of the weight matrix is :math:`(T \\times 3D)`, where
              :math:`D` is the hidden size.
            - All elements in the weight matrix can be divided into two parts.
              The first part are weights of the update gate and reset gate with
              shape :math:`(D \\times 2D)`, and the second part are weights for
              candidate hidden state with shape :math:`(D \\times D)`.

            If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, dynamic_gru 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|None): The parameter attribute for the bias
            of GRU.Note that the bias with :math:`(1 \\times 3D)` concatenates
            the bias in the update gate, reset gate and candidate calculations.
            If it is set to False, no bias will be applied to the update gate,
            reset gate and candidate calculations. If it is set to None or one
            attribute of ParamAttr, dynamic_gru will create ParamAttr as
            bias_attr. If the Initializer of the bias_attr is not set, the bias
            is initialized zero. Default: None.
        is_reverse(bool): Whether to compute reversed GRU, default
            :attr:`False`.
        gate_activation(str): The activation for update gate and reset gate.
            Choices = ["sigmoid", "tanh", "relu", "identity"], default "sigmoid".
        candidate_activation(str): The activation for candidate hidden state.
            Choices = ["sigmoid", "tanh", "relu", "identity"], default "tanh".
        h_0 (Variable): This is initial hidden state. If not set, default is
            zero. This is a tensor with shape (N x D), where N is the number of
            total time steps of input mini-batch feature and D is the hidden
            size.

    Returns:
        Variable: The hidden state of GRU. The shape is :math:`(T \\times D)`, \
            and sequence length is the same with the input.

    The inputs of gru unit includes :math:`z_t`, :math:`h_{t-1}`. In terms
    of the equation above, the :math:`z_t` is split into 3 parts -
    :math:`xu_t`, :math:`xr_t` and :math:`xm_t`. This means that in order to
    implement a full GRU unit operator for an input, a fully
    connected layer has to be applied, such that :math:`z_t = W_{fc}x_t`.

    The terms :math:`u_t` and :math:`r_t` represent the update and reset gates
    of the GRU cell. Unlike LSTM, GRU has one lesser gate. However, there is
    an intermediate candidate hidden output, which is denoted by :math:`m_t`.
    This layer has three outputs :math:`h_t`, :math:`dot(r_t, h_{t-1})`
    and concatenation of :math:`u_t`, :math:`r_t` and :math:`m_t`.

    Args:
        input (Variable): The fc transformed input value of current step.
        hidden (Variable): The hidden value of gru unit from previous step.
        size (integer): The input dimension value.
        param_attr(ParamAttr|None): The parameter attribute for the learnable
            hidden-hidden weight matrix. Note:

            - The shape of the weight matrix is :math:`(T \\times 3D)`, where
              :math:`D` is the hidden size.
            - All elements in the weight matrix can be divided into two parts.
              The first part are weights of the update gate and reset gate with
              shape :math:`(D \\times 2D)`, and the second part are weights for
              candidate hidden state with shape :math:`(D \\times D)`.

            If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, gru_unit 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|None): The parameter attribute for the bias
            of GRU.Note that the bias with :math:`(1 \\times 3D)` concatenates
            the bias in the update gate, reset gate and candidate calculations.
            If it is set to False, no bias will be applied to the update gate,
            reset gate and candidate calculations. If it is set to None or one
            attribute of ParamAttr, gru_unit will create ParamAttr as
            bias_attr. If the Initializer of the bias_attr is not set, the bias
            is initialized zero. Default: None.

    Computes dropout.

    Drop or keep each element of `x` independently. Dropout is a regularization
    technique for reducing overfitting by preventing neuron co-adaption during
    training. The dropout operator randomly sets (according to the given dropout
    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.

    Args:

    **Cross Entropy Layer**

    This layer computes the cross entropy between `input` and `label`. It
    supports both standard cross-entropy and soft-label cross-entropy loss
    computation.

    1) One-hot cross-entropy:
        `soft_label = False`, `Label[i, 0]` indicates the class index for sample i:

        .. math::

            Y[i] = -\log(X[i, Label[i]])

    2) Soft-label cross-entropy:
        `soft_label = True`, `Label[i, j]` indicates the soft label of class j
        for sample i:

        .. math::

            Y[i] = \sum_j{-Label[i, j] * log(X[i, j])}

       Please make sure that in this case the summation of each row of `label`
       equals one.

    3) One-hot cross-entropy with vecterized `label`:
         As a special case of 2), when each row of 'label' has only one
         non-zero element which is equal to 1, soft-label cross-entropy degenerates
         to a one-hot cross-entropy with one-hot label representation.

    Args:

                                a softmax operator.
        label (Variable|list): the ground truth which is a 2-D tensor. When
                               `soft_label` is set to `False`, `label` is a
                               tensor<int64> with shape [N x 1]. When

                               tensor<float/double> with shape [N x D].
        soft_label (bool): a flag indicating whether to

                                           labels. Default: `False`.
        ignore_index (int): Specifies a target value that is ignored and does
                            not contribute to the input gradient. Only valid
                            if soft_label is set to False. Default: kIgnoreIndex

    **Chunk Evaluator**

    `Chunking with Support Vector Machines <https://aclanthology.info/pdf/N/N01/N01-1025.pdf>`_ .

    ChunkEvalOp computes the precision, recall, and F1-score of chunk detection,
    and supports IOB, IOE, IOBES and IO (also known as plain) tagging schemes.
    Here is a NER example of labeling for 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

       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 calculations actually use label ids rather than labels, extra attention
    should be paid when mapping labels to ids to make CheckEvalOp work. The key point
    is that the listed equations are satisfied by ids.

    .. 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

    Still use NER as example, assuming the tagging scheme is IOB while chunk types are ORG,
    PER and LOC. To satisfy the above equations, the label map can be like this:

    .. code-block:: python

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

    It's not hard to verify the equations noting that the num of chunk types
    is 3 and the num of tag types in IOB scheme is 2. For example, the label
    id of I-LOC is 5, the tag type id of I-LOC is 1, and the chunk type id of
    I-LOC is 2, which consistent with the results from the equations.

    Args:
        input (Variable): prediction output of the network.
        label (Variable): label of the test data set.
        chunk_scheme (str): ${chunk_scheme_comment}

    **Convlution3D Layer**

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

    Output(Output) are in NCDHW 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.

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

        data_layout(string, default NCHW): NCHW|NHWC
        in_place(bool, Default False): Make the input and output of batch norm reuse memory.
        name(string, Default None): A name for this layer(optional). If set None, the layer
            will be named automatically.
        moving_mean_name(string, Default None): The name of moving_mean which store the global Mean.
        moving_variance_name(string, Default None): The name of the moving_variance which store the global Variance.
        do_model_average_for_mean_and_var(bool, Default False): Do model average for mean and variance or not.
        fuse_with_relu (bool): if True, this OP performs relu after batch norm.
        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.

    **Convlution2D transpose layer**

    The convolution2D transpose layer calculates the output based on the input,
    filter, and dilations, strides, paddings. Input(Input) and output(Output)
    are in NCHW 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 <http://www.matthewzeiler.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/cvpr2010.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 tensor with NCHW format.
    * :math:`W`: Filter value, a 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, 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)`

        - Output:

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

        Where

        .. math::

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

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

    Args:
        input(Variable): The input image with [N, C, H, W] format.
        num_filters(int): The number of the filter. It is as same as the output
            image channel.
        output_size(int|tuple|None): The output image size. If output size is a
            tuple, it must contain two integers, (image_H, image_W). 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.
        filter_size(int|tuple|None): 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. None if use output size to
            calculate filter_size.
        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.
        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.

            dilation_H = dilation_W = dilation. Default: dilation = 1.
        groups(int): 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|None): 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|None): 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): 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): A name for this layer(optional). If set None, the layer
            will be named automatically. Default: True.

    Returns:
        Variable: The tensor variable storing the convolution transpose result.

    **Convlution3D transpose layer**

    The convolution3D transpose layer calculates the output based on the input,
    filter, and dilations, strides, paddings. Input(Input) and output(Output)
    are in NCDHW 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 <http://www.matthewzeiler.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/cvpr2010.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 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_{out} &= (D_{in} - 1) * strides[0] - 2 * paddings[0] + dilations[0] * (D_f - 1) + 1 \\\\
           H_{out} &= (H_{in} - 1) * strides[1] - 2 * paddings[1] + dilations[1] * (H_f - 1) + 1 \\\\
           W_{out} &= (W_{in} - 1) * strides[2] - 2 * paddings[2] + dilations[2] * (W_f - 1) + 1

    Args:
        input(Variable): The input image with [N, C, D, H, W] format.
        num_filters(int): The number of the filter. It is as same as the output
            image channel.
        output_size(int|tuple|None): The output image size. If output size is a
            tuple, it must contain three integers, (image_D, image_H, image_W). This
            parameter only works when filter_size is None.
        filter_size(int|tuple|None): The filter size. If filter_size is a tuple,
            it must contain three integers, (filter_size_D, filter_size_H, filter_size_W).
            Otherwise, the filter will be a square. None if use output size to
            calculate filter_size.
        padding(int|tuple): The padding size. If padding is a tuple, it must
            contain three integers, (padding_D, padding_H, padding_W). Otherwise, the
            padding_D = padding_H = padding_W = padding. Default: padding = 0.
        stride(int|tuple): The stride size. If stride is a tuple, it must
            contain three integers, (stride_D, stride_H, stride_W). Otherwise, the
            stride_D = stride_H = stride_W = stride. Default: stride = 1.
        dilation(int|tuple): The dilation size. If dilation is a tuple, it must
            contain three integers, (dilation_D, dilation_H, dilation_W). Otherwise, the
            dilation_D = dilation_H = dilation_W = dilation. Default: dilation = 1.
        groups(int): 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|None): 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|None): 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): 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): A name for this layer(optional). If set None, the layer
            will be named automatically.

    Returns:
        Variable: The tensor variable storing the convolution transpose result.

    Raises:
        ValueError: If the shapes of input, filter_size, stride, padding and
                    groups mismatch.

    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 layer does the search in beams for one time step. Specifically, it
    selects the top-K candidate word ids of current step from :attr:`ids`
    according to their :attr:`scores` for all source sentences, where K is
    :attr:`beam_size` and :attr:`ids, scores` are predicted results from the
    computation cell. If :attr:`ids` is not set, it will be calculated out
    according to :attr:`scores`. Additionally, :attr:`pre_ids` and
    :attr:`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 :attr:`is_accumulated` is :attr:`True`, the :attr:`scores`
    passed in should be accumulated scores. Else, the :attr:`scores` are
    considered as the straightforward scores and will be transformed to the
    log field and accumulated the :attr:`pre_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): The LodTensor variable which is the output of
            beam_search at previous step. It should be a LodTensor with shape
            :math:`(batch_size, 1)` and lod
            :math:`[[0, 1, ... , batch_size], [0, 1, ..., batch_size]]` at the
            first step.
        pre_scores(Variable): The LodTensor variable which is the output of
            beam_search at previous step.
        ids(Variable): The LodTensor variable containing the candidates ids.
            Its shape should be :math:`(batch_size \\times beam_size, K)`,
            where :math:`K` supposed to be :attr:`beam_size`.
        scores(Variable): The LodTensor variable containing the accumulated
            scores corresponding to :attr:`ids` and its shape is the same as
            the shape of :attr:`ids`.
        beam_size(int): The beam width used in beam search.
        end_id(int): The id of end token.
        level(int, default 0): It can be ignored and mustn't change currently.
            It means the source level of lod, which is explained as following.
            The lod level of :attr:`ids` should be 2. The first level is source
            level which describes how many prefixes (branchs) for each source
            sentece (beam), and the second level is sentence level which
            describes how these candidates belong to the prefix. The paths
            linking prefixes and selected candidates are organized and reserved
            in lod.
        is_accumulated(bool, default True): Whether the input :attr:`score` is
             accumulated scores.
        name(str|None): A name for this layer(optional). If set None, the layer
                        will be named automatically.

                        preserving the selected_ids' parent indice in pre_ids
                        in output, which can be used to gather cell states at
                        the next time step.

    Returns:
        Variable: The LodTensor tuple containing the selected ids and the \

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.

    """
    The hierarchical sigmoid operator is used to accelerate the training
    process of language model. This operator organizes the classes into a
    complete binary tree, or you can use is_custom to pass your own tree to
    implement hierarchical. Each leaf node represents a class(a word) and each
    internal node acts as a binary classifier. For each word there's a unique
    path from root to it's leaf node, hsigmoid calculate the cost for each
    internal node on the path, and sum them to get a total cost. hsigmoid can
    achive a acceleration from :math:`O(N)` to :math:`O(logN)`, where :math:`N`
    represents the size of word dict.

    Using default tree you can Refer to `Hierarchical Probabilistic Neural Network Language Model
    <http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~lisa/pointeurs/hierarchical-nnlm-aistats05.pdf>`_

    And if you want to use the costumed tree by set 'is_custom' as true you may need to do following things first:

    1. using your word dict to build a binary tree, each leaf node should be an word of your word dict
    2. build a dict to store word_id -> word's leaf to root path, we call it path_table.
    3. build a dict to store word_id -> code of word's leaf to root path, we call it path_code. Code
       means label of each binary classification, using 1 indicate true, 0 indicate false.
    4. now, each word should has its path and code along the path, you can pass a batch of path and code
       related to the same batch of inputs.

    Args:
        input (Variable): The input tensor variable with shape
            :math:`[N \\times D]`, where :math:`N` is the size of mini-batch,
            and :math:`D` is the feature size.
        label (Variable): The tensor variable contains labels of training data.
            It's a tensor with shape is :math:`[N \\times 1]`.
        num_classes: (int), The number of classes, must not be less than 2. with default tree this has to be set,
            it should never be None under is_custom=False, but while is_custom is true, it should be non leaf num
            which indicates the num of classes using by binary classify.
        param_attr (ParamAttr|None): The parameter attribute for learnable parameters/weights
             of hsigmoid. If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, hsigmoid
             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|None): The parameter attribute for the bias of hsigmoid.
             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, hsigmoid
             will create ParamAttr as bias_attr. If the Initializer of the bias_attr
             is not set, the bias is initialized zero. Default: None.
        name (str|None): A name for this layer(optional). If set None, the layer
             will be named automatically. Default: None.
        path_table: (Variable|None) this variable can store each batch of samples' path to root,
            it should be in leaf -> root order
            path_table should have the same shape with path_code, and for each sample i path_table[i] indicates a np.array like
            structure and each element in this array is indexes in parent nodes' Weight Matrix.
        path_code:  (Variable|None) this variable can store each batch of samples' code,
            each code consist with every code of parent nodes. it should be in leaf -> root order
        is_custom: (bool|False)using user defined binary tree instead of default complete binary tree, if costum is
             set you need to set path_table/path_code/num_classes, otherwise num_classes should be set
        is_sparse: (bool|False)using sparse update instead of dense update, if set, the gradient
             of W and input will be sparse.

            padding_left = padding_right = padding_W. Or it can use
            (padding_up, padding_left, padding_down, padding_right) to indicate
            paddings of four direction. Otherwise, a scalar padding means
            padding_up = padding_down = padding_left = padding_right = padding
            Default: padding = 0.

        input_image_size(Variable): the input contains image real size.It's dim
            is [batchsize, 2]. It is dispensable.It is just for batch inference.

        out_stride(int|tuple): The scaling of image through CNN. It is
            dispensable. It is valid only when input_image_size is not null.
            If out_stride is tuple,  it must contain two intergers,
            (out_stride_H, out_stride_W). Otherwise,
            the out_stride_H = out_stride_W = out_stride.

        name (int): The name of this layer. It is optional.

    Returns:
        output: The output is a LoDTensor with shape
        {input.batch_size * output_height * output_width,
        filter_size_H * filter_size_W * input.channels}.
        If we regard output as a matrix, each row of this matrix is
        a step of a sequence.

    **Softmax With Cross Entropy Operator.**

    Cross entropy loss with softmax is used as the output layer extensively. This
    operator computes the softmax normalized values for dimension :attr:`axis` of 
    the input tensor, after which cross-entropy loss is computed. This provides 
    a more numerically stable gradient.

    Because this operator performs a softmax on logits internally, it expects
    unscaled logits. This operator should not be used with the output of
    softmax operator since that would produce incorrect results.

    When the attribute :attr:`soft_label` is set :attr:`False`, this operators 
    expects mutually exclusive hard labels, each sample in a batch is in exactly 
    one class with a probability of 1.0. Each sample in the batch will have a 
    single label.

    The equation is as follows:

    1) Hard label (one-hot label, so every sample has exactly one class)

    .. math::

        loss_j =  -\\text{logit}_{label_j} +
        \\log\\left(\\sum_{i=0}^{K}\\exp(\\text{logit}_i)\\right), j = 1,..., K

    2) Soft label (each sample can have a distribution over all classes)

    .. math::

        loss_j =  -\\sum_{i=0}^{K}\\text{label}_i
        \\left(\\text{logit}_i - \\log\\left(\\sum_{i=0}^{K}
        \\exp(\\text{logit}_i)\\right)\\right), j = 1,...,K

    3) If :attr:`numeric_stable_mode` is :attr:`True`, softmax is calculated 
    first by:

    .. math::

        max_j &= \\max_{i=0}^{K}{\\text{logit}_i}

        log\\_max\\_sum_j &= \\log\\sum_{i=0}^{K}\\exp(logit_i - max_j)

        softmax_j &= \\exp(logit_j - max_j - {log\\_max\\_sum}_j)

    and then cross entropy loss is calculated by softmax and label.

    Args:
        logits (Variable): The input tensor of unscaled log probabilities.
        label (Variable): The ground truth  tensor. If :attr:`soft_label`
            is set to :attr:`True`, Label is a Tensor<float/double> in the 
            same shape with :attr:`logits`. If :attr:`soft_label` is set to 
            :attr:`True`, Label is a Tensor<int64> in the same shape with 
            :attr:`logits` expect shape in dimension :attr:`axis` as 1.
        soft_label (bool): A flag to indicate whether to interpretate the given
            labels as soft labels. Default False.
        ignore_index (int): Specifies a target value that is ignored and does
                            not contribute to the input gradient. Only valid
                            if :attr:`soft_label` is set to :attr:`False`. 
                            Default: kIgnoreIndex
        numeric_stable_mode (bool): A flag to indicate whether to use a more
                                    numerically stable algorithm. Only valid
                                    when :attr:`soft_label` is :attr:`False` 
                                    and GPU is used. When :attr:`soft_label` 
                                    is :attr:`True` or CPU is used, the 
                                    algorithm is always numerically stable.
                                    Note that the speed may be slower when use
                                    stable algorithm. Default: True
        return_softmax (bool): A flag indicating whether to return the softmax
                               along with the cross entropy loss. Default: False

    Returns:
        Variable or Tuple of two Variables: Return the cross entropy loss if \

    **Sampled Softmax With Cross Entropy Operator.**

    Cross entropy loss with sampled softmax is used as the output layer for 
    larger output classes extensively. This operator samples a number of samples
    for all examples, and computes the softmax normalized values for each 
    row of the sampled tensor, after which cross-entropy loss is computed. 

    Because this operator performs a softmax on logits internally, it expects
    unscaled logits. This operator should not be used with the output of
    softmax operator since that would produce incorrect results.
    
    For examples with T true labels (T >= 1), we assume that each true label has
    a probability of 1/T. For each sample, S samples are generated using a
    log uniform distribution. True labels are concatenated with these samples to
    form T + S samples for each example. So, assume the shape of logits is
    [N x K], the shape for samples is [N x (T+S)]. For each sampled label, a 
    probability is calculated, which corresponds to the Q(y|x) in 
    [Jean et al., 2014](http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.2007).
    
    Logits are sampled according to the sampled labels. Then if 
    remove_accidental_hits is True, if a sample[i, j] accidentally hits true 
    labels, then the corresponding sampled_logits[i, j] is minus by 1e20 to 
    make its softmax result close to zero. Then sampled logits are subtracted by
    logQ(y|x), these sampled logits and re-indexed labels are used to compute 
    a softmax with cross entropy.

    Args:
        logits (Variable): The unscaled log probabilities, which is a 2-D tensor
            with shape [N x K]. N is the batch_size, and K is the class number.
        label (Variable): The ground truth which is a 2-D tensor. Label is a 
            Tensor<int64> with shape [N x T], where T is the number of true 
            labels per example. 
        num_samples (int): The number for each example, num_samples should be 
            less than the number of class.
        num_true(int): The number of target classes per training example.
        remove_accidental_hits (bool): A flag indicating whether to remove 
            accidental hits when sampling. If True and if a sample[i, j] 
            accidentally hits true labels, then the corresponding 
            sampled_logits[i, j] is minus by 1e20 to make its softmax result 
            close to zero. Default is True.
        use_customized_samples (bool): Whether to use custom samples and probabities to sample
            logits.
        customized_samples (Variable): User defined samples, which is a 2-D tensor
            with shape [N, T + S]. S is the num_samples, and T is the number of true 
            labels per example. 
        customized_probabilities (Variable): User defined probabilities of samples, 
            a 2-D tensor which has the same shape with customized_samples.
        seed (int): The random seed for generating random number, which is used
            in the process of sampling. Default is 0.

def reshape(x, shape, actual_shape=None, act=None, inplace=False, name=None):
    """
    Gives a new shape to the input Tensor without changing its data.

    The target shape can be given by :attr:`shape` or :attr:`actual_shape`.
    :attr:`shape` is a list of integer while :attr:`actual_shape` is a tensor
    variable. :attr:`actual_shape` has a higher priority than :attr:`shape`
    if it is provided, while :attr:`shape` still should be set correctly to
    gurantee 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 indice of 0s in shape can not exceed
    Rank(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.

    Args:
        x(variable): The input tensor.
        shape(list): The new shape. At most one dimension of the new shape can
                     be -1.
        actual_shape(variable): An optional input. If provided, reshape
                                according to this given shape rather than
                                :attr:`shape` specifying shape. That is to
                                say :attr:`actual_shape` has a higher priority
                                than :attr:`shape`.
        act (str): The non-linear activation to be applied to the reshaped tensor
                   variable.
        inplace(bool): 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 variables. Note that if :attr:`x`
                       is more than one layer's input, ``inplace`` must be :attr:`False`.
        name (str): The name of this layer. It is optional.

    Returns:
        Variable: The reshaped tensor variable if :attr:`act` is None. It is a \
                  new tensor variable if :attr:`inplace` is :attr:`False`, \

    Label smoothing is a mechanism to regularize the classifier layer and is

    Label smoothing is proposed to encourage the model to be less confident,

    cause overfitting and reduce the ability of the model to adapt. Label
    smoothing replaces the ground-truth label :math:`y` with the weighted sum

    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`.

    Supporting resample methods:

        'BILINEAR' : Bilinear interpolation

        'NEAREST' : Nearest neighbor interpolation

    Nearest neighbor interpolation is to perform nearest neighbor interpolation
    in both the 3rd dimention(in height direction) and the 4th dimention(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.

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

    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.

    **Rank loss layer for RankNet**

    `RankNet <http://icml.cc/2015/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/icml_ranking.pdf>`_
    is a pairwise ranking model with a training sample consisting of a pair
    of documents, A and B. Label P indicates whether A is ranked higher than B
    or not:

    P = {0, 1} or {0, 0.5, 1}, where 0.5 means that there is no information
    about the rank of the input pair.

    Rank loss layer takes three inputs: left ( :math:`o_i` ), right ( :math:`o_j` ) and
    label ( :math:`P_{i,j}` ). The inputs respectively represent RankNet's output scores
    for documents A and B and the value of label P. The following equation
    computes rank loss C_{i,j} from the inputs:

    .. math::

      C_{i,j} &= -\\tilde{P_{ij}} * o_{i,j} + \log(1 + e^{o_{i,j}}) \\\\

      o_{i,j} &=  o_i - o_j  \\\\

      \\tilde{P_{i,j}} &= \\left \{0, 0.5, 1 \\right \} \ or \ \\left \{0, 1 \\right \}


    Rank loss layer takes batch inputs with size batch_size (batch_size >= 1).

    Args:
        label (Variable): Indicats whether A ranked higher than B or not.

    The attr blocksize indicates the input block size.

    space_to_depth will reorgnize the elements of input with shape[batch, channel, height, width] according

    space_to_depth is used to This operation is useful for resizing the activations between convolutions
    (but keeping all data)

    - Non-overlapping blocks of size block_size x block size are rearranged into depth at each location.
    - The depth of the output tensor is block_size * block_size * input channel
    - The Y, X coordinates within each block of the input become the high order component of the output channel index

    Generate a similarity focus mask with the same shape of input using the following method:

    backward part (if :code:`backward_func` is not None).

    User should set the right data type and shape of :code:`out` before
    calling this function. However, data types and shapes of gradients of
    :code:`out` and :code:`x` would be inferred automatically.

    Input orders of :code:`backward_func` would be: forward inputs
    :code:`x`, forward outputs :code:`out` and backward input gradients of
    :code:`out`. If some variables of :code:`out` have no gradient, the input
    tensor would be None in Python side. If some variables of :code:`in` have
    no gradient, users should return None.

    This function can also be used to debug the running network. User can
    add a :code:`py_func` operator without output, and print input
    :code:`x` inside :code:`func`.
