flax.linen.LSTMCell#

class flax.linen.LSTMCell(gate_fn=<CompiledFunction of <function sigmoid>>, activation_fn=<CompiledFunction of <function _one_to_one_unop.<locals>.<lambda>>>, kernel_init=<function variance_scaling.<locals>.init>, recurrent_kernel_init=<function orthogonal.<locals>.init>, bias_init=<function zeros>, dtype=None, param_dtype=<class 'jax.numpy.float32'>, parent=<flax.linen.module._Sentinel object>, name=None)[source]#

LSTM cell.

The mathematical definition of the cell is as follows

\[\begin{split}\begin{array}{ll} i = \sigma(W_{ii} x + W_{hi} h + b_{hi}) \\ f = \sigma(W_{if} x + W_{hf} h + b_{hf}) \\ g = \tanh(W_{ig} x + W_{hg} h + b_{hg}) \\ o = \sigma(W_{io} x + W_{ho} h + b_{ho}) \\ c' = f * c + i * g \\ h' = o * \tanh(c') \\ \end{array}\end{split}\]

where x is the input, h is the output of the previous time step, and c is the memory.

__call__(carry, inputs)[source]#

A long short-term memory (LSTM) cell.

Parameters

  • carry – the hidden state of the LSTM cell, initialized using LSTMCell.initialize_carry.

  • inputs – an ndarray with the input for the current time step. All dimensions except the final are considered batch dimensions.

Returns

A tuple with the new carry and the output.

Methods

initialize_carry(rng, batch_dims, size[, ...])

Initialize the RNN cell carry.
