    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.

                 for each time step, will invoke step function, and return
