def split_states(states, bidirectional=False, state_components=1):
    r"""
    Split states of RNN network into possibly nested list or tuple of
    states of each RNN cells of the RNN network.

    Parameters:
        states (Tensor|tuple|list): the concatenated states for RNN network.
            When `state_components` is 1, states in a Tensor with shape
            `(L*D, N, C)` where `L` is the number of layers of the RNN 
            network, `D` is the number of directions of the RNN network(1 
            for unidirectional RNNs and 2 for bidirectional RNNs), `N` is 
            the batch size of the input to the RNN network, `C` is the 
            hidden size of the RNN network. 

            When `state_components` is larger than 1, `states` is a tuple of 
            `state_components` Tensors that meet the requirements described 
            above. 
            
            For SimpleRNNs and GRUs, `state_components` is 1, and for LSTMs, 
            `state_components` is 2.
        bidirectional (bool): whether the state is of a bidirectional RNN 
            network. Defaults to False.
        state_components (int): the number of the components of the states. see
            `states` above. Defaults to 1.
    
    Returns:
        A nested list or tuple of RNN cell states. 
        If `bidirectional` is True, it can be indexed twice to get an RNN 
        cell state. The first index indicates the layer, the second index 
        indicates the direction.
        If `bidirectional` is False, it can be indexed once to get an RNN
        cell state. The index indicates the layer.
        Note that if `state_components` is larger than 1, an RNN cell state
        can be indexed one more time to get a tensor of shape(N, C), where 
        `N` is the batch size of the input to the RNN cell, and `C` is the
        hidden size of the RNN cell.

class SimpleRNN(RNNBase):
    r"""

    Each layer inside the SimpleRNN maps the input sequences and initial states 
    to the output sequences and final states in the following manner: at each 
    step, it takes step inputs(:math:`x_{t}`) and previous 
    states(:math:`h_{t-1}`) as inputs, and returns step outputs(:math:`y_{t}`)
    and new states(:math:`h_{t}`).

    .. math::

        y_{t} & = h_{t}
    
    where :math:`act` is for :attr:`activation`.

    Using key word arguments to construct is recommended.

    Parameters:
        input_size (int): The input size for the first layer's cell.

            outputs of forward and backward is concatenating. Defaults to "forward".
        time_major (bool, optional): Whether the first dimension of the input means the
            time steps. Defaults to False.
        dropout (float, optional): The droput probability. Dropout is applied to the 
            input of each layer except for the first layer. Defaults to 0.
        activation (str, optional): The activation in each SimpleRNN cell. It can be 
            `tanh` or `relu`. Defaults to `tanh`.

            `weight_ih` of each cell. Defaults to None.
        weight_hh_attr (ParamAttr, optional): The parameter attribute for 
            `weight_hh` of each cell. Defaults to None.

class GRU(RNNBase):
    r"""
    Multilayer GRU. It takes input sequencse and initial states as inputs, and 
    returns the output sequences and the final states.

    Each layer inside the GRU maps the input sequences and initial states 
    to the output sequences and final states in the following manner: at each 
    step, it takes step inputs(:math:`x_{t}`) and previous 
    states(:math:`h_{t-1}`) as inputs, and returns step outputs(:math:`y_{t}`) 
    and new states(:math:`h_{t}`).

    .. math::

        r_{t} & = \sigma(W_{ir}x_{t} + b_{ir} + W_{hr}h_{t-1} + b_{hr})

        z_{t} & = \sigma(W_{iz}x_{t} + b_{iz} + W_{hz}h_{t-1} + b_{hz})

        \widetilde{h}_{t} & = \tanh(W_{ic}x_{t} + b_{ic} + r_{t} * (W_{hc}h_{t-1} + b_{hc}))

        h_{t} & = z_{t} * h_{t-1} + (1 - z_{t}) * \widetilde{h}_{t}

        y_{t} & = h_{t}

    where :math:`\sigma` is the sigmoid fucntion, and * is the elemetwise 
    multiplication operator.

    Using key word arguments to construct is recommended.

    Parameters:
        input_size (int): The input size for the first layer's cell.
        hidden_size (int): The hidden size for each layer's cell.
        num_layers (int, optional): Number of layers. Defaults to 1.
        direction (str, optional): The direction of the network. It can be "forward",
            "backward" and "bidirectional". When "bidirectional", the way to merge
            outputs of forward and backward is concatenating. Defaults to "forward".
        time_major (bool, optional): Whether the first dimension of the input 
            means the time steps. Defaults to False.
        dropout (float, optional): The droput probability. Dropout is applied 
            to the input of each layer except for the first layer. Defaults to 0.
        weight_ih_attr (ParamAttr, optional): The parameter attribute for 
            `weight_ih` of each cell. Default: None.
        weight_hh_attr (ParamAttr, optional): The parameter attribute for 
            `weight_hh` of each cell. Default: None.
        bias_ih_attr (ParamAttr, optional): The parameter attribute for the 
            `bias_ih` of each cells. Default: None.
        bias_hh_attr (ParamAttr, optional): The parameter attribute for the 
            `bias_hh` of each cells. Default: None.
        name (str, optional): Name for the operation (optional, default is 
            None). For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.

    Inputs:
        - **inputs** (Tensor): the input sequence. If `time_major` is True, the shape is `[time_steps, batch_size, input_size]`, else, the shape is `[batch_size, time_steps, hidden_size]`.
        - **initial_states** (Tensor, optional): the initial state. The shape is `[num_layers * num_directions, batch_size, hidden_size]`. If initial_state is not given, zero initial states are used. Defaults to None.
        - **sequence_length** (Tensor, optional): shape `[batch_size]`, dtype: int64 or int32. The valid lengths of input sequences. Defaults to None. If `sequence_length` is not None, the inputs are treated as padded sequences. In each input sequence, elements whos time step index are not less than the valid length are treated as paddings.

    Returns:
        - **outputs** (Tensor): the output sequence. If `time_major` is True, the shape is `[time_steps, batch_size, num_directions * hidden_size]`, else, the shape is `[batch_size, time_steps, num_directions * hidden_size]`. Note that `num_directions` is 2 if direction is "bidirectional" else 1.
        - **final_states** (Tensor): final states. The shape is `[num_layers * num_directions, batch_size, hidden_size]`. Note that `num_directions` is 2 if direction is "bidirectional" else 1.

    Variables:
        - **weight_ih_l[k]**: the learnable input-hidden weights of the k-th layer. If `k = 0`, the shape is `[hidden_size, input_size]`. Otherwise, the shape is `[hidden_size, num_directions * hidden_size]`.
        - **weight_hh_l[k]**: the learnable hidden-hidden weights of the k-th layer, with shape `[hidden_size, hidden_size]`.
        - **bias_ih_l[k]**: the learnable input-hidden bias of the k-th layer, with shape `[hidden_size]`.
        - **bias_hh_l[k]**: the learnable hidden-hidden bias of the k-th layer, with shape `[hidden_size]`.
