    lstm_group is a recurrent layer group version Long Short Term Memory. It
    does exactly the same calculation as the lstmemory layer (see lstmemory in
    layers.py for the maths) does. A promising benefit is that LSTM memory
    cell states, or hidden states in every time step are accessible to for the
    user. This is especially useful in attention model. If you do not need to
    access to the internal states of the lstm, but merely use its outputs,
    it is recommended to use the lstmemory, which is relatively faster than
    lstmemory_group.

    NOTE: In PaddlePaddle's implementation, the following input-to-hidden
    multiplications:
    :math:`W_{xi}x_{t}` , :math:`W_{xf}x_{t}`,
    :math:`W_{xc}x_t`, :math:`W_{xo}x_{t}` are not done in lstmemory_unit to

    A bidirectional_lstm is a recurrent unit that iterates over the input
    sequence both in forward and bardward orders, and then concatenate two
    outputs form a final output. However, concatenation of two outputs
    is not the only way to form the final output, you can also, for example,
    just add them together.
