units Positive integer, dimensionality of the output space.
activation Activation function to use. Default: hyperbolic tangent (tanh). If you pass None, no activation is applied (ie. "linear" activation: a(x) = x).
recurrent_activation Activation function to use for the recurrent step. Default: hard sigmoid (hard_sigmoid). If you pass None, no activation is applied (ie. "linear" activation: a(x) = x).
use_bias Boolean, whether the layer uses a bias vector.
kernel_initializer Initializer for the kernel weights matrix, used for the linear transformation of the inputs..
recurrent_initializer Initializer for the recurrent_kernel weights matrix, used for the linear transformation of the recurrent state.
bias_initializer Initializer for the bias vector.
unit_forget_bias Boolean. If True, add 1 to the bias of the forget gate at initialization. Setting it to true will also force bias_initializer="zeros". This is recommended in Jozefowicz et al., 2015.
kernel_regularizer Regularizer function applied to the kernel weights matrix.
recurrent_regularizer Regularizer function applied to the recurrent_kernel weights matrix.
bias_regularizer Regularizer function applied to the bias vector.
activity_regularizer Regularizer function applied to the output of the layer (its "activation").
kernel_constraint Constraint function applied to the kernel weights matrix.
recurrent_constraint Constraint function applied to the recurrent_kernel weights matrix.
bias_constraint Constraint function applied to the bias vector.
dropout Float between 0 and 1. Fraction of the units to drop for the linear transformation of the inputs.
recurrent_dropout Float between 0 and 1. Fraction of the units to drop for the linear transformation of the recurrent state.
return_sequences Boolean. Whether to return the last output in the output sequence, or the full sequence.
return_state Boolean. Whether to return the last state in addition to the output.
go_backwards Boolean (default False). If True, process the input sequence backwards and return the reversed sequence.
stateful Boolean (default False). If True, the last state for each sample at index i in a batch will be used as initial state for the sample of index i in the following batch.
unroll Boolean (default False). If True, the network will be unrolled, else a symbolic loop will be used. Unrolling can speed-up a RNN, although it tends to be more memory-intensive. Unrolling is only suitable for short sequences.
time_major The shape format of the inputs and outputs tensors. If True, the inputs and outputs will be in shape (timesteps, batch, ...), whereas in the False case, it will be (batch, timesteps, ...). Using time_major = True is a bit more efficient because it avoids transposes at the beginning and end of the RNN calculation. However, most TensorFlow data is batch-major, so by default this function accepts input and emits output in batch-major form.

inputs A 3D tensor.
mask Binary tensor of shape (samples, timesteps) indicating whether a given timestep should be masked. An individual True entry indicates that the corresponding timestep should be utilized, while a False entry indicates that the corresponding timestep should be ignored.
training Python boolean indicating whether the layer should behave in training mode or in inference mode. This argument is passed to the cell when calling it. This is only relevant if dropout or recurrent_dropout is used.
initial_state List of initial state tensors to be passed to the first call of the cell.

reset_states(
    states=None
)

Reset the recorded states for the stateful RNN layer.

Can only be used when RNN layer is constructed with stateful = True. Args: states: Numpy arrays that contains the value for the initial state, which will be feed to cell at the first time step. When the value is None, zero filled numpy array will be created based on the cell state size.

Raises
AttributeError When the RNN layer is not stateful.
ValueError When the batch size of the RNN layer is unknown.
ValueError When the input numpy array is not compatible with the RNN layer state, either size wise or dtype wise.
