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.
