-        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.
+    Parameters:
+        input (Variable): A tensor with the shape [N, D], where N is the size of mini-batch,
+            and D is the feature size. Its data type supports float32 and float64.
+        label (Variable): A tensor contains the labels of training data. Its shape is [N, 1]
+            and data type is int64.
+        num_classes (int): The number of classes or the size of word dict, must be greater than 2.
+            If the default tree is used (:attr:`is_custom` is set to False), :attr:`num_classes`
+            should not be None. If the custom tree is used (:attr:`is_custom` is set to True),
+            :attr:`num_classes` should be the number of non-leaf nodes, which indicates the num of
+            classes using by the binary classifier.
+        param_attr (ParamAttr, optional): The parameter attribute for the learnable parameters/weights
+            of hsigmoid. If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, hsigmoid will create a
+            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 hsigmoid. If it
+            is set to False, no bias will be added. If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr,
+            hsigmoid will create a ParamAttr as bias_attr. If the Initializer of the bias_attr is not
+            set, the bias is initialized zero. Default: None.
+        name (str, optional): Normally there is no need for user to set this property. For more information,
+            please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`. Default: None.
+        path_table (Variable, optional): A tensor that stores each batch of samples' path from leaf to root
+            node, its shape is [N, L] and data type is int64, where L is the length of path. For each sample i,
+            path_table[i] is a np.array like structure and each element in this array is the indexes in parent
+            nodes' weight matrix. Default: None.
+        path_code (Variable, optional): A tensor that stores each batch of samples' code of path from leaf
+            to root node, its shape is [N, L] and data type is int64, which is the same as :attr:`path_table`.
+            Each code of path is consisted with the code of nodes from leaf to root node. Default: None.
+        is_custom (bool, optional): Whether use custom binary tree. If it's True, :attr:`path_table`,
+            :attr:`path_code` and :attr:`num_classes` should be set, otherwise :attr:`num_classes` should
+            be set. Default: False.
+        is_sparse (bool, optional): Whether use sparse updating instead of dense updating, if it's True, the
+            gradient of W and input will be sparse. Default: False.
 
     Returns:
-        Out: (LodTensor) The cost of hierarchical sigmoid operator. the shape is [N, 1]
+        Variable: A tensor with the cost of hierarchical sigmoid, its shape is [N, 1] and data type is the same as :attr:`input`.
