The bidirection connection is only used in the frequency direction, which
hence doesn't affect the time direction's real-time processing that is
required for online recognition systems.
The current implementation uses different weights for the two directions.
Args
num_units
int, The number of units in the LSTM cell
use_peepholes
(optional) bool, default False. Set True to enable
diagonal/peephole connections.
share_time_frequency_weights
(optional) bool, default False. Set True to
enable shared cell weights between time and frequency LSTMs.
cell_clip
(optional) A float value, default None, 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, default None.
num_unit_shards
(optional) int, default 1, How to split the weight
matrix. If > 1, the weight matrix is stored across num_unit_shards.
forget_bias
(optional) float, default 1.0, The initial bias of the
forget gates, used to reduce the scale of forgetting at the beginning
of the training.
feature_size
(optional) int, default None, The size of the input feature
the LSTM spans over.
frequency_skip
(optional) int, default None, The amount the LSTM filter
is shifted by in frequency.
num_frequency_blocks
[required] A list of frequency blocks needed to
cover the whole input feature splitting defined by start_freqindex_list
and end_freqindex_list.
start_freqindex_list
[optional], list of ints, default None, The
starting frequency index for each frequency block.
end_freqindex_list
[optional], list of ints, default None. The ending
frequency index for each frequency block.
couple_input_forget_gates
(optional) bool, default False, Whether to
couple the input and forget gates, i.e. f_gate = 1.0 - i_gate, to reduce
model parameters and computation cost.
backward_slice_offset
(optional) int32, default 0, the starting offset to
slice the feature for backward processing.
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.

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.
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.
