class CNNEncoder(nn.Layer):
    """
    A `CNNEncoder` takes as input a sequence of vectors and returns a
    single vector, a combination of multiple convolution layers and max pooling layers.
    The input to this module is of shape `(batch_size, num_tokens, emb_dim)`, 
    and the output is of shape `(batch_size, ouput_dim)` or `(batch_size, len(ngram_filter_sizes) * num_filter)`.

    The CNN has one convolution layer for each ngram filter size. Each convolution operation gives
    out a vector of size num_filter. The number of times a convolution layer will be used
    is `num_tokens - ngram_size + 1`. The corresponding maxpooling layer aggregates all these
    outputs from the convolution layer and outputs the max.

    This operation is repeated for every ngram size passed, and consequently the dimensionality of
    the output after maxpooling is `len(ngram_filter_sizes) * num_filter`.  This then gets
    (optionally) projected down to a lower dimensional output, specified by `output_dim`.

    We then use a fully connected layer to project in back to the desired output_dim.  For more
    details, refer to "A Sensitivity Analysis of (and Practitioners’ Guide to) Convolutional Neural
    Networks for Sentence Classification", Zhang and Wallace 2016, particularly Figure 1.

class RNNEncoder(nn.Layer):
    """
    A RNNEncoder takes as input a sequence of vectors and returns a
    single vector, which is a combination of multiple RNN layers.
    The input to this module is of shape `(batch_size, num_tokens, input_size)`, 
    The output is of shape `(batch_size, hidden_size*2)` if RNN is bidirectional;
    If not, output is of shape `(batch_size, hidden_size)`.

    Paddle's RNN have two outputs: the hidden state for every time step at last layer, 
    and the hidden state at the last time step for every layer.
    If `pooling_type` is None, we perform the pooling on the hidden state of every time 
    step at last layer to create a single vector. If not None, we use the hidden state 
    of the last time step at last layer as a single output (shape of `(batch_size, hidden_size)`); 
    And if direction is bidirectional, the we concat the hidden state of the last forward 
    rnn and backward rnn layer to create a single vector (shape of `(batch_size, hidden_size*2)`).

    Args:
        input_size (obj:`int`, required): The number of expected features in the input (the last dimension).
        hidden_size (obj:`int`, required): The number of features in the hidden state.
        num_layers (obj:`int`, optional, defaults to 1): Number of recurrent layers. 
            E.g., setting num_layers=2 would mean stacking two RNNs together to form a stacked RNN, 
            with the second RNN taking in outputs of the first RNN and computing the final results.
        direction (obj:`str`, optional, defaults to obj:`forwrd`): The direction of the network. 
            It can be "forward" and "bidirectional".
            When "bidirectional", the way to merge outputs of forward and backward is concatenating.
        dropout (obj:`float`, optional, defaults to 0.0): If non-zero, introduces a Dropout layer 
            on the outputs of each RNN layer except the last layer, with dropout probability equal to dropout.
        pooling_type (obj: `str`, optional, defaults to obj:`None`): If `pooling_type` is None, 
            then the RNNEncoder will return the hidden state of the last time step at last layer as a single vector.
            If pooling_type is not None, it must be one of `sum`, `max` and `mean`. Then it will be pooled on 
            the RNN output (the hidden state of every time step at last layer) to create a single vector.
