<dd><p>lstm_group is a recurrent layer group version of 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 the
user. This is especially useful in attention model. If you do not need to
access 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.</p>
<p>NOTE: In PaddlePaddle&#8217;s implementation, the following input-to-hidden
multiplications:
<span class="math">\(W_{xi}x_{t}\)</span> , <span class="math">\(W_{xf}x_{t}\)</span>,
<span class="math">\(W_{xc}x_t\)</span>, <span class="math">\(W_{xo}x_{t}\)</span> are not done in lstmemory_unit to
speed up the calculations. Consequently, an additional mixed_layer with
full_matrix_projection must be included before lstmemory_unit is called.</p>

<dd><p>gru_group is a recurrent layer group version of Gated Recurrent Unit. It
does exactly the same calculation as the grumemory layer does. A promising
benefit is that gru hidden states are accessible to the user. This is
especially useful in attention model. If you do not need to access
any internal state, but merely use the outputs of a GRU, it is recommended
to use the grumemory, which is relatively faster.</p>
<p>Please see grumemory in layers.py for more detail about the maths.</p>

<dd><p>You maybe see gru_step_layer, grumemory in layers.py, gru_unit, gru_group,
simple_gru in network.py. The reason why there are so many interfaces is
that we have two ways to implement recurrent neural network. One way is to
use one complete layer to implement rnn (including simple rnn, gru and lstm)
with multiple time steps, such as recurrent_layer, lstmemory, grumemory. But,
the multiplication operation <span class="math">\(W x_t\)</span> is not computed in these layers.
See details in their interfaces in layers.py.
The other implementation is to use an recurrent group which can ensemble a
series of layers to compute rnn step by step. This way is flexible for
attenion mechanism or other complex connections.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>gru_step_layer: only compute rnn by one step. It needs an memory as input
and can be used in recurrent group.</li>
<li>gru_unit: a wrapper of gru_step_layer with memory.</li>
<li>gru_group: a GRU cell implemented by a combination of multiple layers in
recurrent group.
But <span class="math">\(W x_t\)</span> is not done in group.</li>
<li>gru_memory: a GRU cell implemented by one layer, which does same calculation
with gru_group and is faster than gru_group.</li>
<li>simple_gru: a complete GRU implementation inlcuding <span class="math">\(W x_t\)</span> and
gru_group. <span class="math">\(W\)</span> contains <span class="math">\(W_r\)</span>, <span class="math">\(W_z\)</span> and <span class="math">\(W\)</span>, see
formula in grumemory.</li>
</ul>
<p>The computational speed is that, grumemory is relatively better than
gru_group, and gru_group is relatively better than simple_gru.</p>
