Iterates over the time dimension of a tensor

Iterates over the time dimension of a tensor

k_rnn(step_function, inputs, initial_states, go_backwards = FALSE,
  mask = NULL, constants = NULL, unroll = FALSE,
  input_length = NULL)

Arguments

step_function

RNN step function.
inputs

Tensor with shape (samples, ...) (no time dimension), representing input for the batch of samples at a certain time step.
initial_states

Tensor with shape (samples, output_dim) (no time dimension), containing the initial values for the states used in the step function.
go_backwards

Logical If TRUE, do the iteration over the time dimension in reverse order and return the reversed sequence.
mask

Binary tensor with shape (samples, time, 1), with a zero for every element that is masked.
constants

A list of constant values passed at each step.
unroll

Whether to unroll the RNN or to use a symbolic loop (while_loop or scan depending on backend).
input_length

Not relevant in the TensorFlow implementation. Must be specified if using unrolling with Theano.

Value

A list with:

  • last_output: the latest output of the rnn, of shape (samples, ...)

  • outputs: tensor with shape (samples, time, ...) where each entry outputs[s, t] is the output of the step function at time t for sample s.

  • new_states: list of tensors, latest states returned by the step function, of shape (samples, ...).

Keras Backend

This function is part of a set of Keras backend functions that enable lower level access to the core operations of the backend tensor engine (e.g. TensorFlow, CNTK, Theano, etc.).
