    **Fully Connected Layer**

    The fully connected layer can take multiple tensors as its inputs. It
    creates a variable 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 bias 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}X_iW_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 function.
    * :math:`Out`: The output tensor.

    Args:
        input (Variable|list of Variable): The input tensor(s) of this layer, and the dimension of
            the input tensor(s) is at least 2.
        size(int): The number of output units in this layer.
        num_flatten_dims (int, default 1): 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` (inclusive, index starts from 1)
            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].
        param_attr (ParamAttr|list of ParamAttr, default None): The parameter attribute for learnable
            parameters/weights of this layer.
        bias_attr (ParamAttr|list of ParamAttr, default None): The parameter attribute for the bias
            of this layer. If it is set to None, no bias will be added to the output units.
        act (str, default None): Activation to be applied to the output of this layer.
        is_test(bool): A flag indicating whether execution is in test phase.
        use_mkldnn(bool): Use mkldnn kernel or not, it is valid only when the mkldnn
            library is installed. Default: False
        name (str, default None): The name of this layer.

    Returns:
        A tensor variable storing the transformation result.

    Raises:
        ValueError: If rank of the input tensor is less than 2.

    **Dynamic LSTM Layer**

    The defalut implementation is diagonal/peephole connection
    (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1402.1128.pdf), the formula is as follows:

    .. math::

        i_t & = \sigma(W_{ix}x_{t} + W_{ih}h_{t-1} + W_{ic}c_{t-1} + b_i)

        f_t & = \sigma(W_{fx}x_{t} + W_{fh}h_{t-1} + W_{fc}c_{t-1} + b_f)

        \\tilde{c_t} & = act_g(W_{cx}x_t + W_{ch}h_{t-1} + b_c)

        o_t & = \sigma(W_{ox}x_{t} + W_{oh}h_{t-1} + W_{oc}c_t + b_o)

        c_t & = f_t \odot c_{t-1} + i_t \odot \\tilde{c_t}

        h_t & = o_t \odot act_h(c_t)

    where the :math:`W` terms denote weight matrices (e.g. :math:`W_{xi}` is
    the matrix of weights from the input gate to the input), :math:`W_{ic}, \
    W_{fc}, W_{oc}` are diagonal weight matrices for peephole connections. In
    our implementation, we use vectors to reprenset these diagonal weight
    matrices. The :math:`b` terms denote bias vectors (:math:`b_i` is the input
    gate bias vector), :math:`\sigma` is the non-linear activations, such as
    logistic sigmoid function, and :math:`i, f, o` and :math:`c` are the input
    gate, forget gate, output gate, and cell activation vectors, respectively,
    all of which have the same size as the cell output activation vector :math:`h`.

    The :math:`\odot` is the element-wise product of the vectors. :math:`act_g`
    and :math:`act_h` are the cell input and cell output activation functions
    and `tanh` is usually used for them. :math:`\\tilde{c_t}` is also called
    candidate hidden state, which is computed based on the current input and
    the previous hidden state.

    Set `use_peepholes` to `False` to disable peephole connection. The formula
    is omitted here, please refer to the paper
    http://www.bioinf.jku.at/publications/older/2604.pdf for details.

    Note that these :math:`W_{xi}x_{t}, W_{xf}x_{t}, W_{xc}x_{t}, W_{xo}x_{t}`
    operations on the input :math:`x_{t}` are NOT included in this operator.

    **Dynamic LSTMP Layer**

    LSTMP (LSTM with recurrent projection) layer has a separate projection
    layer after the LSTM layer, projecting the original hidden state to a
    lower-dimensional one, which is proposed to reduce the number of total
    parameters and furthermore computational complexity for the LSTM,
    espeacially for the case that the size of output units is relative
    large (https://research.google.com/pubs/archive/43905.pdf).

    The formula is as follows:

    .. math::

        i_t & = \sigma(W_{ix}x_{t} + W_{ir}r_{t-1} + W_{ic}c_{t-1} + b_i)

          the matrix of weights from the input gate to the input).
    * :math:`W_{ic}`, :math:`W_{fc}`, :math:`W_{oc}`: Diagonal weight \

    """
    **Cross Entropy Layer**

    This layer computes the cross entropy between `input` and `label`. It
    supports both standard cross-entropy and soft-label cross-entropy loss
    computation.

    1) One-hot cross-entropy:
        `soft_label = False`, `Label[i, 0]` indicates the class index for sample i:

        .. math::

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

    2) Soft-label cross-entropy:
        `soft_label = True`, `Label[i, j]` indicates the soft label of class j
        for sample i:

        .. math::

            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.

    Args:
        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 computed by the previous
                                operator, which is almost always the result 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): 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:
        `ValueError`: 1) the 1st dimension of `input` and `label` are not equal.
                      2) when `soft_label == True`, and the 2nd dimension of
                         `input` and `label` are not equal.

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

           contain two integers, (dilation_H, dilation_W). Otherwise, the
           dilation_H = dilation_W = dilation. Default: dilation = 1.
       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

    **Convlution2D transpose layer**

    The convolution2D transpose layer calculates the output based on the input,
    filter, and dilations, strides, paddings. 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.
    Parameters(dilations, strides, paddings) are two elements. These two elements
    represent height and width, respectively. The details of convolution transpose
    layer, please refer to the following explanation and references
    `therein <http://www.matthewzeiler.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/cvpr2010.pdf>`_.

    For each input :math:`X`, the equation is:

    .. math::

        Out = W \\ast X

    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 transpose operation.
    * :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: $(C_{in}, C_{out}, H_f, W_f)$

        - Output:

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

        Where

        .. math::

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

    Args:
       input(Variable): The input image with [N, C, H, W] format.
       num_filters(int): The number of the filter. It is as same as the output
           image channel.
       output_size(int|tuple|None): The output image size. If output size is a
           tuple, it must contain two integers, (image_H, image_W). This
           parameter only works when filter_size is None.
       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. None if use output size to
           calculate filter_size.
       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.
       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.
       dilation(int|tuple): The dilation size. If dilation is a tuple, it must
           contain two integers, (dilation_H, dilation_W). Otherwise, the
           dilation_H = dilation_W = dilation. Default: dilation = 1.
       param_attr(ParamAttr): The parameters to the Conv2d_transpose Layer.
                              Default: None
       bias_attr(ParamAttr): Bias parameter for the Conv2d layer. Default: None
       use_cudnn(bool): Use cudnn kernel or not, it is valid only when the cudnn
           library is installed. Default: True
       act(str): Activation type. Default: None
       name(str|None): A name for this layer(optional). If set None, the layer
           will be named automatically.

    Returns:

    """
    Applies matrix multiplication to two tensors.

    Currently, the input tensors' rank can be any, but when the rank of any
    inputs is bigger than 3, this two inputs' rank should be equal.

    The actual behavior depends on the shapes of :math:`x`, :math:`y` and the
    flag values of :attr:`transpose_x`, :attr:`transpose_y`. Specifically:

    - If a transpose flag is specified, the last two dimensions of the tensor
      are transposed. If the tensor is rank-1 of shape :math:`[D]`, then for
      :math:`x` it is treated as :math:`[1, D]` in nontransposed form and as
      :math:`[D, 1]` in transposed form, whereas for :math:`y` it is the
      opposite: It is treated as :math:`[D, 1]` in nontransposed form and as
      :math:`[1, D]` in transposed form.

    - After transpose, the two tensors are 2-D or n-D and matrix multiplication
      performs in the following way.

      - If both are 2-D, they are multiplied like conventional matrices.
      - If either is n-D, it is treated as a stack of matrices residing in the
        last two dimensions and a batched matrix multiply supporting broadcast
        applies on the two tensors.

    Also note that if the raw tensor :math:`x` or :math:`y` is rank-1 and
    nontransposed, the prepended or appended dimension :math:`1` will be
    removed after matrix multiplication.

    Args:
        x (Variable): The input variable which is a Tensor or LoDTensor.
        y (Variable): The input variable which is a Tensor or LoDTensor.
        transpose_x (bool): Whether to transpose :math:`x` before multiplication.

    Cross entropy loss with softmax is used as the output layer extensively. This

    softmax operator since that would produce incorrect results.

    When the attribute soft_label is set false, this operators expects mutually
    exclusive hard labels, each sample in a batch is in exactly one class with a
    probability of 1.0. Each sample in the batch will have a single label.

def reshape(x, shape, actual_shape=None, act=None, inplace=True, name=None):
    """
    Gives a new shape to the input Tensor without changing its data.

    The target shape can be given by :attr:`shape` or :attr:`actual_shape`.
    :attr:`shape` is a list of integer while :attr:`actual_shape` is a tensor
    variable. :attr:`actual_shape` has a higher priority than :attr:`shape`
    if it is provided, while :attr:`shape` still should be set correctly to
    gurantee shape inference in compile-time.

    Some tricks exist when specifying the target shape.

    1. -1 means the value of this dimension is inferred from the total element
    number of x and remaining dimensions. Thus one and only one dimension can
    be set -1.

    2. 0 means the actual dimension value is going to be copied from the
    corresponding dimension of x. The indice of 0s in shape can not exceed
    Rank(X).

    Here are some examples to explain it.

    1. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape
    is [6, 8], the reshape operator will transform x into a 2-D tensor with
    shape [6, 8] and leaving x's data unchanged.

    2. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape
    specified is [2, 3, -1, 2], the reshape operator will transform x into a
    4-D tensor with shape [2, 3, 4, 2] and leaving x's data unchanged. In this
    case, one dimension of the target shape is set to -1, the value of this
    dimension is inferred from the total element number of x and remaining
    dimensions.

    3. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape
    is [-1, 0, 3, 2], the reshape operator will transform x into a 4-D tensor
    with shape [2, 4, 3, 2] and leaving x's data unchanged. In this case,
    besides -1, 0 means the actual dimension value is going to be copied from
    the corresponding dimension of x.

    Args:
        input(variable): The input tensor.
        shape(list): The new shape. At most one dimension of the new shape can
                     be -1.
        actual_shape(variable): An optional input. If provided, reshape
                                according to this given shape rather than
                                :attr:`shape` specifying shape. That is to
                                say :attr:`actual_shape` has a higher priority
                                than :attr:`shape`.
        act (str): The non-linear activation to be applied to output variable.
        inplace(bool): If this flag is set true, a new output tensor is created
                       whose data is copied from input x, otherwise the output

    Region of interest pooling (also known as RoI pooling) is to perform
        is to perform max pooling on inputs of nonuniform sizes to obtain
        fixed-size feature maps (e.g. 7*7).
    The operator has three steps:
        1. Dividing each region proposal into equal-sized sections with
           the pooled_width and pooled_height
        2. Finding the largest value in each section
        3. Copying these max values to the output buffer

    Args:
        input (Variable): The input for ROI pooling.
        rois (Variable): ROIs (Regions of Interest) to pool over. It should
                         be a 2-D one level LoTensor of shape [num_rois, 4].
                         The layout is [x1, y1, x2, y2], where (x1, y1)
                         is the top left coordinates, and (x2, y2) is the
                         bottom right coordinates. The num_rois is the
                         total number of ROIs in this batch data.
        pooled_height (integer): The pooled output height. Default: 1
        pooled_width (integer): The pooled output width. Default: 1
        spatial_scale (float): Multiplicative spatial scale factor. To
                               translate ROI coords from their input scale
                               to the scale used when pooling. Default: 1.0

    **Dice loss Layer**
    Dice loss for comparing the similarity of two batch of data,
    usually is used for binary image segmentation i.e. labels are binary.
    The dice loss can be defined as below equation:

        dice\_loss &= 1 - \\frac{2 * intersection\_area}{total\_area} \\\\
                  &= \\frac{(total\_area - intersection\_area) - intersection\_area}{total\_area} \\\\
