<p>This document describes the RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) operator and how it is implemented in PaddlePaddle. The RNN op requires that all instances in a mini-batch have the same length. We will have a more flexible dynamic RNN operator in the future.</p>

</p><p>The above diagram shows an RNN unrolled into a full network.</p>
207
<p>There are several important concepts here:</p>
208
<ul class="simple">
209 210 211 212
<li><em>step-net</em>: the sub-graph that runs at each step.</li>
<li><em>memory</em>, $h_t$, the state of the current step.</li>
<li><em>ex-memory</em>, $h_{t-1}$, the state of the previous step.</li>
<li><em>initial memory value</em>, the memory of the first (initial) step.</li>

<div class="section" id="step-scope">
<span id="step-scope"></span><h3>Step-scope<a class="headerlink" href="#step-scope" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h3>
216 217
<p>There could be local variables defined in each step-net.  PaddlePaddle runtime realizes these variables in <em>step-scopes</em> which are created for each step.</p>

Figure 2 illustrates the RNN's data flow
</p><p>Please be aware that every step runs the same step-net.  Each step does the following:</p>
221
<ol class="simple">
222 223 224
<li>Creates the step-scope.</li>
<li>Initializes the local variables including step-outputs, in the step-scope.</li>
<li>Runs the step-net, which uses the above mentioned variables.</li>
225
</ol>
226
<p>The RNN operator will compose its output from step outputs in each of the step scopes.</p>

230
<p>Let&#8217;s give more details about memory and ex-memory using a simple example:</p>
231 232 233
<p>$$
h_t = U h_{t-1} + W x_t
$$,</p>
234 235 236
<p>where $h_t$ and $h_{t-1}$ are the memory and ex-memory (previous memory) of step $t$ respectively.</p>
<p>In the implementation, we can make an ex-memory variable either &#8220;refer to&#8221; the memory variable of the previous step,
or copy the memory value of the previous step to the current ex-memory variable.</p>

276 277 278
<p>For example, we could have a 2-level RNN, where the top level corresponds to paragraphs, and the lower level corresponds to sentences. Each step of the higher level RNN also receives an input from the corresponding step of the lower level, and additionally the output from the previous time step at the same level.</p>
<p>The following figure illustrates feeding in text into the lower level, one sentence at a step, and the feeding in step outputs to the top level. The final top level output is about the whole text.</p>

<p>In the above example, the construction of the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">top_level_rnn</span></code> calls  <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">lower_level_rnn</span></code>.  The input is an LoD Tensor. The top level RNN segments input text data into paragraphs, and the lower level RNN segments each paragraph into sentences.</p>
<p>By default, the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">RNNOp</span></code> will concatenate the outputs from all the time steps.
If the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">output_all_steps</span></code> is set to False, it will only output the final time step.</p>
