<p>This document is about an RNN operator which requires that instances in a mini-batch have the same length.  We will have a more flexible RNN operator.</p>
<div class="section" id="rnn-algorithm-implementation">
<span id="rnn-algorithm-implementation"></span><h2>RNN Algorithm Implementation<a class="headerlink" href="#rnn-algorithm-implementation" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h2>
<p aligh="center">
<img src="./images/rnn.jpg"/>
</p><p>The above diagram shows an RNN unrolled into a full network.</p>
<p>There are several important concepts:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><em>step-net</em>: the sub-graph to run 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 ex-memory of the first step.</li>
</ul>
<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>
<p>There could be local variables defined in step-nets.  PaddlePaddle runtime realizes these variables in <em>step-scopes</em> &#8211; scopes created for each step.</p>
<p aligh="center">
<img src="./images/rnn.png"/><br/>
Figure 2 the RNN's data flow
</p><p>Please be aware that all steps run the same step-net.  Each step</p>
<ol class="simple">
<li>creates the step-scope,</li>
<li>realizes local variables, including step-outputs, in the step-scope, and</li>
<li>runs the step-net, which could use these variables.</li>
</ol>
<p>The RNN operator will compose its output from step outputs in step scopes.</p>

<div class="section" id="memory-and-ex-memory">
<span id="memory-and-ex-memory"></span><h3>Memory and Ex-memory<a class="headerlink" href="#memory-and-ex-memory" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h3>
<p>Let&#8217;s give more details about memory and ex-memory via a simply example:</p>
<p>$$
h_t = U h_{t-1} + W x_t
$$,</p>
<p>where $h_t$ and $h_{t-1}$ are the memory and ex-memory of step $t$&#8217;s respectively.</p>
<p>In the implementation, we can make an ex-memory variable either &#8220;refers to&#8221; the memory variable of the previous step,
or copy the value of the previous memory value to the current ex-memory variable.</p>

<p>in 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 a 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> set to False, it will only output the final time step.</p>
