tf.compat.v1.nn.rnn_cell.LSTMCell

Long short-term memory unit (LSTM) recurrent network cell.

tf.compat.v1.nn.rnn_cell.LSTMCell(
    num_units, use_peepholes=False, cell_clip=None, initializer=None, num_proj=None,
    proj_clip=None, num_unit_shards=None, num_proj_shards=None, forget_bias=1.0,
    state_is_tuple=True, activation=None, reuse=None, name=None, dtype=None,
    **kwargs
)

The default non-peephole implementation is based on (Gers et al., 1999). The peephole implementation is based on (Sak et al., 2014).

The class uses optional peep-hole connections, optional cell clipping, and an optional projection layer.

Note that this cell is not optimized for performance. Please use tf.contrib.cudnn_rnn.CudnnLSTM for better performance on GPU, or tf.contrib.rnn.LSTMBlockCell and tf.contrib.rnn.LSTMBlockFusedCell for better performance on CPU.

Args
num_units	int, The number of units in the LSTM cell.
use_peepholes	bool, set True to enable diagonal/peephole connections.
cell_clip	(optional) A float value, if provided the cell state is clipped by this value prior to the cell output activation.
initializer	(optional) The initializer to use for the weight and projection matrices.
num_proj	(optional) int, The output dimensionality for the projection matrices. If None, no projection is performed.
proj_clip	(optional) A float value. If num_proj > 0 and proj_clip is provided, then the projected values are clipped elementwise to within [-proj_clip, proj_clip].
num_unit_shards	Deprecated, will be removed by Jan. 2017. Use a variable_scope partitioner instead.
num_proj_shards	Deprecated, will be removed by Jan. 2017. Use a variable_scope partitioner instead.
forget_bias	Biases of the forget gate are initialized by default to 1 in order to reduce the scale of forgetting at the beginning of the training. Must set it manually to 0.0 when restoring from CudnnLSTM trained checkpoints.
state_is_tuple	If True, accepted and returned states are 2-tuples of the c_state and m_state. If False, they are concatenated along the column axis. This latter behavior will soon be deprecated.
activation	Activation function of the inner states. Default: tanh. It could also be string that is within Keras activation function names.
reuse	(optional) Python boolean describing whether to reuse variables in an existing scope. If not True, and the existing scope already has the given variables, an error is raised.
name	String, the name of the layer. Layers with the same name will share weights, but to avoid mistakes we require reuse=True in such cases.
dtype	Default dtype of the layer (default of None means use the type of the first input). Required when build is called before call.
**kwargs	Dict, keyword named properties for common layer attributes, like trainable etc when constructing the cell from configs of get_config(). When restoring from CudnnLSTM-trained checkpoints, use CudnnCompatibleLSTMCell instead.

Attributes
graph	DEPRECATED FUNCTION
output_size	Integer or TensorShape: size of outputs produced by this cell.
scope_name
state_size	size(s) of state(s) used by this cell. It can be represented by an Integer, a TensorShape or a tuple of Integers or TensorShapes.

Methods

get_initial_state(
    inputs=None, batch_size=None, dtype=None
)

zero_state

View source

zero_state(
    batch_size, dtype
)

Return zero-filled state tensor(s).

Args
batch_size	int, float, or unit Tensor representing the batch size.
dtype	the data type to use for the state.

Returns
If state_size is an int or TensorShape, then the return value is a N-D tensor of shape [batch_size, state_size] filled with zeros. If state_size is a nested list or tuple, then the return value is a nested list or tuple (of the same structure) of 2-D tensors with the shapes [batch_size, s] for each s in state_size.
