    Gate Recurrent Unit Layer.

    The memory cell was implemented as follow equations.

    1. update gate :math:`z`: defines how much of the previous memory to
    keep around or the unit updates its activations. The update gate
    is computed by:

    ..  math::

        z_t = \\sigma(W_{z}x_{t} + U_{z}h_{t-1} + b_z)

    2. reset gate :math:`r`: determines how to combine the new input with the
    previous memory. The reset gate is computed similarly to the update gate:

    ..  math::

        r_t = \\sigma(W_{r}x_{t} + U_{r}h_{t-1} + b_r)

    3. The candidate activation :math:`\\tilde{h_t}` is computed similarly to
    that of the traditional recurrent unit:

    ..  math::

        {\\tilde{h_t}} = tanh(W x_{t} + U (r_{t} \odot h_{t-1}) + b)

    4. The hidden activation :math:`h_t` of the GRU at time t is a linear
    interpolation between the previous activation :math:`h_{t-1}` and the
    candidate activation :math:`\\tilde{h_t}`:

    ..  math::

        h_t = (1 - z_t) h_{t-1} + z_t {\\tilde{h_t}}

    NOTE: In PaddlePaddle's implementation, the multiplication operations
    :math:`W_{r}x_{t}`, :math:`W_{z}x_{t}` and :math:`W x_t` are not computed in
    gate_recurrent layer. Consequently, an additional mixed_layer with
    full_matrix_projection or a fc_layer must be included before grumemory
    is called.

    Convolution layer for image. Paddle can support both square and non-square

    Convolution Transpose (deconv) layer for image. Paddle can support both square
    and non-square input currently.

    The details of convolution transpose layer,
    please refer to the following explanation and references therein
    <http://datascience.stackexchange.com/questions/6107/
    what-are-deconvolutional-layers/>`_ .
    The num_channel means input image's channel number. It may be 1 or 3 when
    input is raw pixels of image(mono or RGB), or it may be the previous layer's
    num_filters * num_group.

    There are several group of filter in PaddlePaddle implementation.
    Each group will process some channel of the inputs. For example, if an input
    num_channel = 256, group = 4, num_filter=32, the PaddlePaddle will create
    32*4 = 128 filters to process inputs. The channels will be split into 4
    pieces. First 256/4 = 64 channels will process by first 32 filters. The
    rest channels will be processed by rest group of filters.

    The example usage is:

    Recurrent layer group is an extremely flexible recurrent unit in

    time step, PaddlePaddle will iterate such a recurrent calculation over
    sequence input. This is extremely usefull for attention based model, or
    Neural Turning Machine like models.

    The basic usage (time steps) is:

                 The recurrent group scatter a sequence into time steps. And
                 for each time step, will invoke step function, and return

    This layer is used in learning to search models, which is to solve complex
    joint prediction problems based on learning to search through a
    problem-defined search space.

    Specifically, the learning to search process for this layer begins with
    searching a target sequence from a nested sequence. In the first search
    step, top beam size sequences with highest scores, indices of these top k
    sequences in the original nested sequence, and the ground truth (also
    called gold) altogether (a triple) make up of the first beam.

    Then, several special positions, for example, start and end positions
    that define meaningful segments are searched. In these searches, top k
    positions with highest scores are selected, and then sequence, starting
    from the selected starts till ends of the sequences (or a fixed position)
    are taken to search next.

    We call the possible top k results returned in one search the beam. This
    search process can be repeated for pre-defined turns and leads to several
    beam expansions.

    Finally, the layer cross_entropy_over_beam takes all the beam expansions
    which contain several candidate targets found along the multi-step search.
    cross_entropy_over_beam calculates cross entropy over the expanded beams
    which all the candidates in the beam as the normalized factor.

    Note that, if gold falls off the beam at search step t, then the cost is
    calculated over the beam at step t.

    This cost layer always works together with kmax_seq_score_layer,
    sub_nested_seq_layer, and sequence_slice_layer to trim the input to form a
    sub-search space.
