class FusedTransformerEncoderLayer(Layer):
    """
    FusedTransformerEncoderLayer is composed of two sub-layers which are self (multi-head)
    attention and feedforward network. Before and after each sub-layer, pre-process
    and post-precess would be applied on the input and output accordingly. If
    `normalize_before` is True, pre-process is layer normalization and post-precess
    includes dropout, residual connection. Otherwise, no pre-process and post-precess
    includes dropout, residual connection, layer normalization.

    Parameters:
        d_model (int): The expected feature size in the input and output.
        nhead (int): The number of heads in multi-head attention(MHA).
        dim_feedforward (int): The hidden layer size in the feedforward network(FFN).
        dropout_rate (float, optional): The dropout probability used in pre-process
            and post-precess of MHA and FFN sub-layer. Default 0.1
        activation (str, optional): The activation function in the feedforward
            network. Default relu.
        attn_dropout_rate (float, optional): The dropout probability used
            in MHA to drop some attention target. If None, use the value of
            `dropout`. Default None
        act_dropout_rate (float, optional): The dropout probability used after FFN
            activition.  If None, use the value of `dropout`. Default None
        normalize_before (bool, optional): Indicate whether to put layer normalization
            into preprocessing of MHA and FFN sub-layers. If True, pre-process is layer
            normalization and post-precess includes dropout, residual connection.
            Otherwise, no pre-process and post-precess includes dropout, residual
            connection, layer normalization. Default False
        weight_attr(ParamAttr|list|tuple, optional): To specify the weight parameter property.
            If it is a list/tuple, `weight_attr[0]` would be used as `weight_attr` for
            MHA, and `weight_attr[1]` would be used as `weight_attr` for linear in FFN.
            Otherwise, MHA and FFN both use it as `weight_attr` to create parameters.
            Default: None, which means the default weight parameter property is used.
            See usage for details in :code:`ParamAttr` .
        bias_attr (ParamAttr|list|tuple|bool, optional): To specify the bias parameter property.
            If it is a list/tuple, `bias_attr[0]` would be used as `bias_attr` for
            MHA, and `bias_attr[1]` would be used as `bias_attr` for linear in FFN.
            Otherwise, MHA and FFN both use it as `bias_attr` to create parameters.
            The `False` value means the corresponding layer would not have trainable
            bias parameter. See usage for details in :code:`ParamAttr` . Default: None,
            which means the default bias parameter property is used.

    A Transformer model composed of an instance of `TransformerEncoder` and an
    instance of `TransformerDecoder`. While the embedding layer and output layer
    are not included.

    Please refer to `Attention is all you need <http://papers.nips.cc/paper/7181-attention-is-all-you-need.pdf>`_ ,
    and see `TransformerEncoder` and `TransformerDecoder` for more details.

    Users can configurate the model architecture with corresponding parameters.
    Note the usage of `normalize_before` representing where to apply layer
    normalization (in pre-process or post-precess of multi-head attention or FFN),
    and some transformer like models are different on this, such as
    `BERT <https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.04805>`_ and `GPT2 <https://d4mucfpksywv.cloudfront.net/better-language-models/language-models.pdf>`_ .
    The default architecture here places layer normalization in post-process and
    applies another layer normalization on the output of last encoder/decoder layer.

    Parameters:
        d_model (int, optional): The expected feature size in the encoder/decoder input
            and output. Default 512
        nhead (int, optional): The number of heads in multi-head attention(MHA). Default 8
        num_encoder_layers (int, optional): The number of layers in encoder. Default 6
        num_decoder_layers (int, optional): The number of layers in decoder. Default 6
        dim_feedforward (int, optional): The hidden layer size in the feedforward network(FFN). Default 2048
        dropout (float, optional): The dropout probability used in pre-process
            and post-precess of MHA and FFN sub-layer. Default 0.1
        activation (str, optional): The activation function in the feedforward
            network. Default relu.
        attn_dropout (float, optional): The dropout probability used
            in MHA to drop some attention target. If None, use the value of
            `dropout`. Default None
        act_dropout (float, optional): The dropout probability used after FFN
            activition.  If None, use the value of `dropout`. Default None
        normalize_before (bool, optional): Indicate whether to put layer normalization
            into preprocessing of MHA and FFN sub-layers. If True, pre-process is layer
            normalization and post-precess includes dropout, residual connection.
            Otherwise, no pre-process and post-precess includes dropout, residual
            connection, layer normalization. Default False
        weight_attr(ParamAttr|list|tuple, optional): To specify the weight parameter property.
            If it is a list/tuple, the length of `weight_attr` could be 1, 2 or 3. If it is 3,
            `weight_attr[0]` would be used as `weight_attr` for self attention, `weight_attr[1]`
            would be used as `weight_attr` for cross attention of `TransformerDecoder`,
            and `weight_attr[2]` would be used as `weight_attr` for linear in FFN.
            If it is 2, `weight_attr[0]` would be used as `weight_attr` both for self attention
            and cross attntion and `weight_attr[1]` would be used as `weight_attr` for
            linear in FFN. If it is 1, `weight_attr[0]` would be used as `weight_attr`
            for self attention, cross attention and linear in FFN. Otherwise,
            the three sub-layers all uses it as `weight_attr` to create parameters.
            Default: None, which means the default weight parameter property is used.
            See usage for details
            in :code:`ParamAttr` .
        bias_attr (ParamAttr|list|tuple|bool, optional): To specify the bias parameter property.
            If it is a list/tuple, the length of `bias_attr` could be 1, 2 or 3. If it is 3,
            `bias_attr[0]` would be used as `bias_attr` for self attention, `bias_attr[1]`
            would be used as `bias_attr` for cross attention of `TransformerDecoder`,
            and `bias_attr[2]` would be used as `bias_attr` for linear in FFN.
            If it is 2, `bias_attr[0]` would be used as `bias_attr` both for self attention
            and cross attntion and `bias_attr[1]` would be used as `bias_attr` for
            linear in FFN. If it is 1, `bias_attr[0]` would be used as `bias_attr`
            for self attention, cross attention and linear in FFN. Otherwise,
            the three sub-layers all uses it as `bias_attr` to create parameters.
            The `False` value means the corresponding layer would not have trainable
            bias parameter. See usage for details in :code:`ParamAttr` .
            Default: None,which means the default bias parameter property is used.
        custom_encoder (Layer, optional): If custom encoder is provided, use it as the encoder.
            Default None
        custom_decoder (Layer, optional): If custom decoder is provided, use it as the decoder.
            Default None

        Applies multi transformer layers on the input.

        Parameters:
            src (Tensor): The input of Transformer layers. It is
                a tensor with shape `[batch_size, sequence_length, d_model]`.
                The data type should be float16 or float32.
            attn_mask (Tensor, optional): A tensor used in multi-head attention
                to prevents attention to some unwanted positions, usually the
                paddings or the subsequent positions. It is a tensor with shape
                `[batch_size, 1, sequence_length, sequence_length]`. It can be
                None when nothing wanted or needed to be prevented attention to.
                Default None.
            caches (list(Tensor)|tuple(Tensor), optional): The cache structure
                tensors for the inference generation model. It is only used for
                inference and should be None for training. The shape is
                `[2, batch_size, num_head, max_seq_len, head_dim]`. Default None.
            time_step (Tensor, optional): The time step tensor for the generation
                model. Which used in decode stage, to represent the time step,
                that is, the real seq_len of CacheKV. The shape is `[1]`, must be
                in CPUPlace. Default None.

        Returns:
            Tensor|tuple: If `caches` is None, return a tensor that has
            the same shape and data type with `src`, representing the output
            of Transformer layers. If `caches` is not None, return the
            tuple (output, caches), which output is the output of
            Transformer layers, caches is inplace with input `caches`.
