Cudnn Compatible GRUCell.

Inherits From: GRUCell

tf.contrib.cudnn_rnn.CudnnCompatibleGRUCell(
    num_units, reuse=None, kernel_initializer=None
)

A GRU impl akin to tf.compat.v1.nn.rnn_cell.GRUCell to use along with tf.contrib.cudnn_rnn.CudnnGRU. The latter's params can be used by it seamlessly.

It differs from platform-independent GRUs in how the new memory gate is calculated. Nvidia picks this variant based on GRU author's[1] suggestion and the fact it has no accuracy impact[2]. [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/1406.1078 [2] http://svail.github.io/diff_graphs/

Cudnn compatible GRU (from Cudnn library user guide):

# reset gate


<div> $$r_t = \sigma(x_t * W_r + h_t-1 * R_h + b_{Wr} + b_{Rr})$$ </div>


# update gate


<div> $$u_t = \sigma(x_t * W_u + h_t-1 * R_u + b_{Wu} + b_{Ru})$$ </div>


# new memory gate


<div> $$h'_t = tanh(x_t * W_h + r_t .* (h_t-1 * R_h + b_{Rh}) + b_{Wh})$$ </div>




<div> $$h_t = (1 - u_t) .* h'_t + u_t .* h_t-1$$ </div>

Other GRU (see tf.compat.v1.nn.rnn_cell.GRUCell and tf.contrib.rnn.GRUBlockCell):

# new memory gate
\\(h'_t = tanh(x_t * W_h + (r_t .* h_t-1) * R_h + b_{Wh})\\)

which is not equivalent to Cudnn GRU: in addition to the extra bias term b_Rh,

\\(r .* (h * R) != (r .* h) * R\\)

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

View source

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.
