<dd><p><strong>Fully Connected Layer</strong></p>
<p>This layer accepts multiple inputs and applies a linear transformation to each input.
If activation type is provided, the corresponding activation function is applied to the
output of the linear transformation. For each input <span class="math">\(X\)</span>, the equation is:</p>
<div class="math">
\[Out = Act(WX + b)\]</div>

example. The linear transformation is applied by calling a <cite>fc</cite> layer and
the equation is:</p>

<p>The non-linear transformation is applied by calling <cite>lstm_unit_op</cite> and the
equation is:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><div class="math">
\[i_t = \sigma(L_{i_t})\]</div>

<dd><p>Sequence Softmax Operator.</p>
<p>SequenceSoftmaxOp computes the softmax activation among all time-steps for each
sequence. The dimension of each time-step should be 1. Thus, the shape of
input Tensor can be either [N, 1] or [N], where N is the sum of the length
of all sequences.</p>
1521 1522 1523 1524 1525 1526
<p>The algorithm works as follows:</p>
<blockquote>
<div>for i-th sequence in a mini-batch:</div></blockquote>
<p>$$
Out(X[lod[i]:lod[i+1]], :) = frac{exp(X[lod[i]:lod[i+1], :])} {sum(exp(X[lod[i]:lod[i+1], :]))}

<p>For example, for a mini-batch of 3 sequences with variable-length,
each containing 2, 3, 2 time-steps, the lod of which is [0, 2, 5, 7],
then softmax will be computed among X[0:2, :], X[2:5, :], X[5:7, :]
and N turns out to be 7.</p>
