    **Fully Connected Layer**

    The fully connected layer can take multiple tensors as its inputs. It
    creates a variable (one for each input tensor) 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 coresponding weight to produce an output Tensor. If
    multiple input tensors are given, the results of multiple multiplications
    will be sumed up. If bias_attr is not None, a biases variable will be
    created and added to the output. Finally, if activation is not None,
    it will be applied to the output as well.

    This process can be formulated as follows:

    .. math::

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

    In the above equation:

    * :math:`N`: Number of the input.
    * :math:`X_i`: The input tensor.
    * :math:`W`: The weights created by this layer.
    * :math:`b`: The bias parameter created by this layer (if needed).
    * :math:`Act`: The activation funtion.
    * :math:`Out`: The output tensor.

    Args:
       input(Variable|list): The input tensor(s) to the fully connected layer.
       size(int): The number of output units in the fully connected layer.
       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-dimensional matrix. The parameter
                              `num_flatten_dims` determines how the input tensor
                              is flattened: the first `num_flatten_dims`
                              dimensions will be flatten to form the first
                              dimension of the final matrix (height of the
                              matrix), and the rest `rank(X) - num_col_dims`
                              dimensions are flattened to form the second
                              dimension of the final matrix (width of the matrix).
                              For example, suppose `X` is a 6-dimensional tensor
                              with a shape [2, 3, 4, 5, 6], and
                              `x_num_col_dims` = 3. Then, the flattened matrix
                              will have a shape [2 x 3 x 4, 5 x 6] = [24, 30].
                              By default, `x_num_col_dims` is set to 1.
       param_attr(ParamAttr|list): The parameter attribute for learnable
                                   parameters/weights of the fully connected
                                   layer.
       param_initializer(ParamAttr|list): The initializer used for the
                                          weight/parameter. If set None,
                                          XavierInitializer() will be used.
       bias_attr(ParamAttr|list): The parameter attribute for the bias parameter
                                  for this layer. If set None, no bias will be
                                  added to the output units.
       bias_initializer(ParamAttr|list): The initializer used for the bias.
                                        If set None, then ConstantInitializer()
                                        will be used.
       act(str): Activation to be applied to the output of the fully connected
                 layer.
       name(str): Name/alias of the fully connected layer.


    Returns:
        Variable: The output tensor variable.

    Raises:

    **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:

	for sample i:

        .. math::

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

       Please make sure that in this case the summuation 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 (equals 1), soft-label cross-entropy degenerates to a
	 one-hot cross-entropy with one-hot label representation.
    
    Args:
        input (Variable|list):  a 2-D tensor with shape N x D, where N is the 
            batch size and D is the number of classes. This input is a probability 
            computed by the previous operator, which is almost always the result
            of 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 `soft_label` is set to `true`, `label` is a 
              tensor<float/double> with shape [N x K].
        soft_label (bool, via `**kwargs`): a flag indicating whether to interpretate
              the given labels as soft labels, default `false`.

    Returns:
         A 2-D tensor with shape [N x 1], the cross entropy loss.

    Raises:

    The inputs of lstm unit includes :math:`x_t`, :math:`h_{t-1}` and

    and non-linear transformation apart. Here, we take :math:`i_t` as an
    example. The linear transformation is applied by calling a `fc` layer and
    the equation is:

    The non-linear transformation is applied by calling `lstm_unit_op` and the
    equation is:

        .. math::

            i_t = \sigma(L_{i_t})

    This layer has two outputs including :math:`h_t` and :math:`o_t`.
