<dd><p><strong>Fully Connected Layer</strong></p>
<p>The fully connected layer can take multiple tensors as its inputs. It
creates a variable (one for each input tensor) 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 biases variable will be
created and added to the output. Finally, if activation is not None,
it will be applied to the output as well.</p>
<p>This process can be formulated as follows:</p>
<div class="math">
\[Out = Act({\sum_{i=0}^{N-1}W_iX_i + b})\]</div>
<p>In the above equation:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><span class="math">\(N\)</span>: Number of the input.</li>
<li><span class="math">\(X_i\)</span>: The input tensor.</li>
<li><span class="math">\(W\)</span>: The weights created by this layer.</li>
<li><span class="math">\(b\)</span>: The bias parameter created by this layer (if needed).</li>

<li><strong>size</strong> (<em>int</em>) &#8211; The number of output units in the fully connected layer.</li>
<li><strong>num_flatten_dims</strong> (<em>int</em>) &#8211; 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
<cite>num_flatten_dims</cite> determines how the input tensor
is flattened: the first <cite>num_flatten_dims</cite>
dimensions will be flatten to form the first
dimension of the final matrix (height of the
matrix), and the rest <cite>rank(X) - num_col_dims</cite>
dimensions are flattened to form the second
dimension of the final matrix (width of the matrix).
For example, suppose <cite>X</cite> is a 6-dimensional tensor
with a shape [2, 3, 4, 5, 6], and
<cite>x_num_col_dims</cite> = 3. Then, the flattened matrix
will have a shape [2 x 3 x 4, 5 x 6] = [24, 30].

matrix first. The flattening rule is: the first <cite>num_col_dims</cite>
will be flattened to form the first dimension of the final matrix
(the height of the matrix), and the rest <cite>rank(X) - num_col_dims</cite>
dimensions are flattened to form the second dimension of the final
matrix (the width of the matrix). As a result, height of the
flattened matrix is equal to the product of $X$&#8217;s first

matrix is equal to the product of $X$&#8217;s last <cite>rank(x) - num_col_dims</cite>

tensor with the shape [2, 3, 4, 5, 6], and <cite>x_num_col_dims</cite> = 3.

<p>The convolution2D layer calculates the output based on the input, filter

are in NCHW format. Where N is batch size, C is the number of channels, H is the height

The details of convolution layer, please refer UFLDL&#8217;s <a class="reference external" href="http://ufldl.stanford.edu/tutorial/supervised/FeatureExtractionUsingConvolution/">convolution,</a> .
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.

the index is the sequence index number and the length representes the
sequence length. Please note that the list is ranked in descending order by
the length. The following is an example:</p>

<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>
<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>
<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>
