    **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_flatten_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
                              `num_flatten_dims` = 3. Then, the flattened matrix
                              will have a shape [2 x 3 x 4, 5 x 6] = [24, 30].
                              By default, `num_flatten_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.

    The inputs of gru unit includes :math:`z_t`, :math:`h_{t-1}`. In terms
    of the equation above, the :math:`z_t` is split into 3 parts - 
    :math:`xu_t`, :math:`xr_t` and :math:`xm_t`. This means that in order to 
    implement a full GRU unit operator for an input, a fully 
    connected layer has to be applied, such that :math:`z_t = W_{fc}x_t`.

    The terms :math:`u_t` and :math:`r_t` represent the update and reset gates 
    of the GRU cell. Unlike LSTM, GRU has one lesser gate. However, there is 
    an intermediate candidate hidden output, which is denoted by :math:`m_t`.

    **Cross Entropy Layer**

    This layer computes the cross entropy between `input` and `label`. It supports

	`soft_label = False`, `Label[i, 0]` indicates the class index for sample i:

        .. math::

            Y[i] = -\log(X[i, Label[i]])

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

       Please make sure that in this case the summation 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 which is equal to 1, soft-label cross-entropy degenerates
         to a one-hot cross-entropy with one-hot label representation.

        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

            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 D].
        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:

    **Convlution2D Layer**

    The convolution2D layer calculates the output based on the input, filter
    and strides, paddings, dilations, groups parameters. Input(Input) and Output(Output)
    are in NCHW format. Where N is batch size, C is the number of channels, H is the height
    of the feature, and W is the width of the feature.
    The details of convolution layer, please refer UFLDL's `convolution,
    <http://ufldl.stanford.edu/tutorial/supervised/FeatureExtractionUsingConvolution/>`_ .
    If bias attribution and activation type are provided, bias is added to the output of the convolution,
    and the corresponding activation function is applied to the final result.
    For each input :math:`X`, the equation is:


    .. math::

        Out = \sigma (W \\ast X + b)

    In the above equation:

        * :math:`X`: Input value, a tensor with NCHW format.
        * :math:`W`: Filter value, a tensor with MCHW format.
        * :math:`\\ast`: Convolution operation.
        * :math:`b`: Bias value, a 2-D tensor with shape [M, 1].
        * :math:`\\sigma`: Activation function.
        * :math:`Out`: Output value, the shape of :math:`Out` and :math:`X` may be different.

    Example:

        Input:
            Input shape: $(N, C_{in}, H_{in}, W_{in})$

            Filter shape: $(C_{out}, C_{in}, H_f, W_f)$

        Output:
            Output shape: $(N, C_{out}, H_{out}, W_{out})$
        Where
    .. math::

        H_{out}&= \\frac{(H_{in} + 2 * paddings[0] - (dilations[0] * (H_f - 1) + 1))}{strides[0]} + 1 \\\\
        W_{out}&= \\frac{(W_{in} + 2 * paddings[1] - (dilations[1] * (W_f - 1) + 1))}{strides[1]} + 1

    Args:
        input(Variable): The input image with [N, C, H, W] format.
        num_filters(int): The number of filter. It is as same as the output
            image channel.
        filter_size(int|tuple|None): The filter size. If filter_size is a tuple,
            it must contain two integers, (filter_size_H, filter_size_W).
            Otherwise, the filter will be a square.
        stride(int|tuple): The stride size. If stride is a tuple, it must
            contain two integers, (stride_H, stride_W). Otherwise, the
            stride_H = stride_W = stride. Default: stride = 1.
        padding(int|tuple): The padding size. If padding is a tuple, it must
            contain two integers, (padding_H, padding_W). Otherwise, the
            padding_H = padding_W = padding. Default: padding = 0.
        groups(int): The groups number of the Conv2d Layer. According to grouped
            convolution in Alex Krizhevsky's Deep CNN paper: when group=2,
            the first half of the filters is only connected to the first half
            of the input channels, while the second half of the filters is only
            connected to the second half of the input channels. Default: groups=1
        param_attr(ParamAttr): The parameters to the Conv2d Layer. Default: None
        bias_attr(ParamAttr): Bias parameter for the Conv2d layer. Default: None
        act(str): Activation type. Default: None

            than the :attr:`input` unless :attr:`keep_dim` is true.

    Returns:
        Variable: The reduced Tensor variable.

    Examples:

            #     [0.1, 0.2, 0.6, 0.7]]
            # Each example is followed by the correspending output tensor.
            fluid.layers.reduce_min(x)  # [0.1]
            fluid.layers.reduce_min(x, dim=0)  # [0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 0.7]
