  Takes input and builds independent forward and backward RNNs. The input_size
  of forward and backward cell must match. The initial state for both directions
  is zero by default (but can be set optionally) and no intermediate states are
  ever returned -- the network is fully unrolled for the given (passed in)
  length(s) of the sequence(s) or completely unrolled if length(s) is not
  given.

  Args:
    cell_fw: An instance of RNNCell, to be used for forward direction.
    cell_bw: An instance of RNNCell, to be used for backward direction.
    inputs: The RNN inputs.
      If time_major == False (default), this must be a tensor of shape:
        `[batch_size, max_time, ...]`, or a nested tuple of such elements.
      If time_major == True, this must be a tensor of shape:
        `[max_time, batch_size, ...]`, or a nested tuple of such elements.
    sequence_length: (optional) An int32/int64 vector, size `[batch_size]`,
      containing the actual lengths for each of the sequences in the batch.
      If not provided, all batch entries are assumed to be full sequences; and
      time reversal is applied from time `0` to `max_time` for each sequence.
    initial_state_fw: (optional) An initial state for the forward RNN.
      This must be a tensor of appropriate type and shape
      `[batch_size, cell_fw.state_size]`.
      If `cell_fw.state_size` is a tuple, this should be a tuple of
      tensors having shapes `[batch_size, s] for s in cell_fw.state_size`.
    initial_state_bw: (optional) Same as for `initial_state_fw`, but using
      the corresponding properties of `cell_bw`.
    dtype: (optional) The data type for the initial states and expected output.
      Required if initial_states are not provided or RNN states have a
      heterogeneous dtype.
    parallel_iterations: (Default: 32).  The number of iterations to run in
      parallel.  Those operations which do not have any temporal dependency
      and can be run in parallel, will be.  This parameter trades off
      time for space.  Values >> 1 use more memory but take less time,
      while smaller values use less memory but computations take longer.
    swap_memory: Transparently swap the tensors produced in forward inference
      but needed for back prop from GPU to CPU.  This allows training RNNs
      which would typically not fit on a single GPU, with very minimal (or no)
      performance penalty.
    time_major: The shape format of the `inputs` and `outputs` Tensors.
      If true, these `Tensors` must be shaped `[max_time, batch_size, depth]`.
      If false, these `Tensors` must be shaped `[batch_size, max_time, depth]`.
      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.
    scope: VariableScope for the created subgraph; defaults to
      "bidirectional_rnn"

  Returns:
    A tuple (outputs, output_states) where:
      outputs: A tuple (output_fw, output_bw) containing the forward and
        the backward rnn output `Tensor`.
        If time_major == False (default),
          output_fw will be a `Tensor` shaped:
          `[batch_size, max_time, cell_fw.output_size]`
          and output_bw will be a `Tensor` shaped:
          `[batch_size, max_time, cell_bw.output_size]`.
        If time_major == True,
          output_fw will be a `Tensor` shaped:
          `[max_time, batch_size, cell_fw.output_size]`
          and output_bw will be a `Tensor` shaped:
          `[max_time, batch_size, cell_bw.output_size]`.
        It returns a tuple instead of a single concatenated `Tensor`, unlike
        in the `bidirectional_rnn`. If the concatenated one is preferred,
        the forward and backward outputs can be concatenated as
        `tf.concat(outputs, 2)`.
      output_states: A tuple (output_state_fw, output_state_bw) containing
        the forward and the backward final states of bidirectional rnn.

      element's sequence length.  So it's more for performance than correctness.
    initial_state: (optional) An initial state for the RNN.
      If `cell.state_size` is an integer, this must be
      a `Tensor` of appropriate type and shape `[batch_size, cell.state_size]`.
      If `cell.state_size` is a tuple, this should be a tuple of
      tensors having shapes `[batch_size, s] for s in cell.state_size`.
    dtype: (optional) The data type for the initial state and expected output.
      Required if initial_state is not provided or RNN state has a heterogeneous
      dtype.
    parallel_iterations: (Default: 32).  The number of iterations to run in
      parallel.  Those operations which do not have any temporal dependency
      and can be run in parallel, will be.  This parameter trades off
      time for space.  Values >> 1 use more memory but take less time,
      while smaller values use less memory but computations take longer.
    swap_memory: Transparently swap the tensors produced in forward inference
      but needed for back prop from GPU to CPU.  This allows training RNNs
      which would typically not fit on a single GPU, with very minimal (or no)
      performance penalty.
    time_major: The shape format of the `inputs` and `outputs` Tensors.
      If true, these `Tensors` must be shaped `[max_time, batch_size, depth]`.
      If false, these `Tensors` must be shaped `[batch_size, max_time, depth]`.
      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.
    scope: VariableScope for the created subgraph; defaults to "rnn".

  Returns:
    A pair (outputs, state) where:

    outputs: The RNN output `Tensor`.

      If time_major == False (default), this will be a `Tensor` shaped:
        `[batch_size, max_time, cell.output_size]`.

      If time_major == True, this will be a `Tensor` shaped:
        `[max_time, batch_size, cell.output_size]`.

      Note, if `cell.output_size` is a (possibly nested) tuple of integers
      or `TensorShape` objects, then `outputs` will be a tuple having the
      same structure as `cell.output_size`, containing Tensors having shapes
      corresponding to the shape data in `cell.output_size`.

    state: The final state.  If `cell.state_size` is an int, this
      will be shaped `[batch_size, cell.state_size]`.  If it is a
      `TensorShape`, this will be shaped `[batch_size] + cell.state_size`.
      If it is a (possibly nested) tuple of ints or `TensorShape`, this will
      be a tuple having the corresponding shapes. If cells are `LSTMCells`
      `state` will be a tuple containing a `LSTMStateTuple` for each cell.

  Raises:
    TypeError: If `cell` is not an instance of RNNCell.
    ValueError: If inputs is None or an empty list.

def raw_rnn(cell, loop_fn,

  """Creates an `RNN` specified by RNNCell `cell` and loop function `loop_fn`.

  **NOTE: This method is still in testing, and the API may change.**

  This function is a more primitive version of `dynamic_rnn` that provides
  more direct access to the inputs each iteration.  It also provides more
  control over when to start and finish reading the sequence, and
  what to emit for the output.

  For example, it can be used to implement the dynamic decoder of a seq2seq
  model.

  Instead of working with `Tensor` objects, most operations work with
  `TensorArray` objects directly.

  The operation of `raw_rnn`, in pseudo-code, is basically the following:

  ```python
  time = tf.constant(0, dtype=tf.int32)
  (finished, next_input, initial_state, emit_structure, loop_state) = loop_fn(
      time=time, cell_output=None, cell_state=None, loop_state=None)
  emit_ta = TensorArray(dynamic_size=True, dtype=initial_state.dtype)
  state = initial_state
  while not all(finished):
    (output, cell_state) = cell(next_input, state)
    (next_finished, next_input, next_state, emit, loop_state) = loop_fn(
        time=time + 1, cell_output=output, cell_state=cell_state,
        loop_state=loop_state)
    # Emit zeros and copy forward state for minibatch entries that are finished.
    state = tf.where(finished, state, next_state)
    emit = tf.where(finished, tf.zeros_like(emit_structure), emit)
    emit_ta = emit_ta.write(time, emit)
    # If any new minibatch entries are marked as finished, mark these.
    finished = tf.logical_or(finished, next_finished)
    time += 1
  return (emit_ta, state, loop_state)
  ```

  with the additional properties that output and state may be (possibly nested)
  tuples, as determined by `cell.output_size` and `cell.state_size`, and
  as a result the final `state` and `emit_ta` may themselves be tuples.

  A simple implementation of `dynamic_rnn` via `raw_rnn` looks like this:

  ```python
  inputs = tf.placeholder(shape=(max_time, batch_size, input_depth),
                          dtype=tf.float32)
  sequence_length = tf.placeholder(shape=(batch_size,), dtype=tf.int32)
  inputs_ta = tf.TensorArray(dtype=tf.float32, size=max_time)
  inputs_ta = inputs_ta.unstack(inputs)

  cell = tf.contrib.rnn.LSTMCell(num_units)

  def loop_fn(time, cell_output, cell_state, loop_state):
    emit_output = cell_output  # == None for time == 0
    if cell_output is None:  # time == 0
      next_cell_state = cell.zero_state(batch_size, tf.float32)
    else:
      next_cell_state = cell_state
    elements_finished = (time >= sequence_length)
    finished = tf.reduce_all(elements_finished)
    next_input = tf.cond(
        finished,
        lambda: tf.zeros([batch_size, input_depth], dtype=tf.float32),
        lambda: inputs_ta.read(time))
    next_loop_state = None
    return (elements_finished, next_input, next_cell_state,
            emit_output, next_loop_state)

  outputs_ta, final_state, _ = raw_rnn(cell, loop_fn)
  outputs = outputs_ta.stack()
  ```

  Args:
    cell: An instance of RNNCell.
    loop_fn: A callable that takes inputs
      `(time, cell_output, cell_state, loop_state)`
      and returns the tuple
      `(finished, next_input, next_cell_state, emit_output, next_loop_state)`.
      Here `time` is an int32 scalar `Tensor`, `cell_output` is a
      `Tensor` or (possibly nested) tuple of tensors as determined by
      `cell.output_size`, and `cell_state` is a `Tensor`
      or (possibly nested) tuple of tensors, as determined by the `loop_fn`
      on its first call (and should match `cell.state_size`).
      The outputs are: `finished`, a boolean `Tensor` of
      shape `[batch_size]`, `next_input`: the next input to feed to `cell`,
      `next_cell_state`: the next state to feed to `cell`,
      and `emit_output`: the output to store for this iteration.

      Note that `emit_output` should be a `Tensor` or (possibly nested)
      tuple of tensors which is aggregated in the `emit_ta` inside the
      `while_loop`. For the first call to `loop_fn`, the `emit_output`
      corresponds to the `emit_structure` which is then used to determine the
      size of the `zero_tensor` for the `emit_ta` (defaults to
      `cell.output_size`). For the subsequent calls to the `loop_fn`, the
      `emit_output` corresponds to the actual output tensor
      that is to be aggregated in the `emit_ta`. The parameter `cell_state`
      and output `next_cell_state` may be either a single or (possibly nested)
      tuple of tensors.  The parameter `loop_state` and
      output `next_loop_state` may be either a single or (possibly nested) tuple
      of `Tensor` and `TensorArray` objects.  This last parameter
      may be ignored by `loop_fn` and the return value may be `None`.  If it
      is not `None`, then the `loop_state` will be propagated through the RNN
      loop, for use purely by `loop_fn` to keep track of its own state.
      The `next_loop_state` parameter returned may be `None`.

      The first call to `loop_fn` will be `time = 0`, `cell_output = None`,
      `cell_state = None`, and `loop_state = None`.  For this call:
      The `next_cell_state` value should be the value with which to initialize
      the cell's state.  It may be a final state from a previous RNN or it
      may be the output of `cell.zero_state()`.  It should be a
      (possibly nested) tuple structure of tensors.
      If `cell.state_size` is an integer, this must be
      a `Tensor` of appropriate type and shape `[batch_size, cell.state_size]`.
      If `cell.state_size` is a `TensorShape`, this must be a `Tensor` of
      appropriate type and shape `[batch_size] + cell.state_size`.
      If `cell.state_size` is a (possibly nested) tuple of ints or
      `TensorShape`, this will be a tuple having the corresponding shapes.
      The `emit_output` value may be either `None` or a (possibly nested)
      tuple structure of tensors, e.g.,
      `(tf.zeros(shape_0, dtype=dtype_0), tf.zeros(shape_1, dtype=dtype_1))`.
      If this first `emit_output` return value is `None`,
      then the `emit_ta` result of `raw_rnn` will have the same structure and
      dtypes as `cell.output_size`.  Otherwise `emit_ta` will have the same
      structure, shapes (prepended with a `batch_size` dimension), and dtypes
      as `emit_output`.  The actual values returned for `emit_output` at this
      initializing call are ignored.  Note, this emit structure must be
      consistent across all time steps.

    parallel_iterations: (Default: 32).  The number of iterations to run in
      parallel.  Those operations which do not have any temporal dependency
      and can be run in parallel, will be.  This parameter trades off
      time for space.  Values >> 1 use more memory but take less time,
      while smaller values use less memory but computations take longer.
    swap_memory: Transparently swap the tensors produced in forward inference
      but needed for back prop from GPU to CPU.  This allows training RNNs
      which would typically not fit on a single GPU, with very minimal (or no)
      performance penalty.
    scope: VariableScope for the created subgraph; defaults to "rnn".

  Returns:
    A tuple `(emit_ta, final_state, final_loop_state)` where:

    `emit_ta`: The RNN output `TensorArray`.
       If `loop_fn` returns a (possibly nested) set of Tensors for
       `emit_output` during initialization, (inputs `time = 0`,
       `cell_output = None`, and `loop_state = None`), then `emit_ta` will
       have the same structure, dtypes, and shapes as `emit_output` instead.
       If `loop_fn` returns `emit_output = None` during this call,
       the structure of `cell.output_size` is used:
       If `cell.output_size` is a (possibly nested) tuple of integers
       or `TensorShape` objects, then `emit_ta` will be a tuple having the
       same structure as `cell.output_size`, containing TensorArrays whose
       elements' shapes correspond to the shape data in `cell.output_size`.

    `final_state`: The final cell state.  If `cell.state_size` is an int, this
      will be shaped `[batch_size, cell.state_size]`.  If it is a
      `TensorShape`, this will be shaped `[batch_size] + cell.state_size`.
      If it is a (possibly nested) tuple of ints or `TensorShape`, this will
      be a tuple having the corresponding shapes.

    `final_loop_state`: The final loop state as returned by `loop_fn`.

  Raises:

  However, a few other options are available:

  An initial state can be provided.
  If the sequence_length vector is provided, dynamic calculation is performed.
  This method of calculation does not compute the RNN steps past the maximum
  sequence length of the minibatch (thus saving computational time),
  and properly propagates the state at an example's sequence length
  to the final state output.

  The dynamic calculation performed is, at time `t` for batch row `b`,

  ```python
    (output, state)(b, t) =
      (t >= sequence_length(b))
        ? (zeros(cell.output_size), states(b, sequence_length(b) - 1))
        : cell(input(b, t), state(b, t - 1))

  Args:
    cell: An instance of RNNCell.
    inputs: A length T list of inputs, each a `Tensor` of shape
      `[batch_size, input_size]`, or a nested tuple of such elements.
    initial_state: (optional) An initial state for the RNN.
      If `cell.state_size` is an integer, this must be
      a `Tensor` of appropriate type and shape `[batch_size, cell.state_size]`.
      If `cell.state_size` is a tuple, this should be a tuple of
      tensors having shapes `[batch_size, s] for s in cell.state_size`.
    dtype: (optional) The data type for the initial state and expected output.
      Required if initial_state is not provided or RNN state has a heterogeneous
      dtype.
    sequence_length: Specifies the length of each sequence in inputs.
      An int32 or int64 vector (tensor) size `[batch_size]`, values in `[0, T)`.
    scope: VariableScope for the created subgraph; defaults to "rnn".

  Returns:

  [time][batch][cell_fw.output_size + cell_bw.output_size]. The input_size of
  forward and backward cell must match. The initial state for both directions
  is zero by default (but can be set optionally) and no intermediate states are
  ever returned -- the network is fully unrolled for the given (passed in)
  length(s) of the sequence(s) or completely unrolled if length(s) is not given.

  Args:
    cell_fw: An instance of RNNCell, to be used for forward direction.
    cell_bw: An instance of RNNCell, to be used for backward direction.
    inputs: A length T list of inputs, each a tensor of shape
      [batch_size, input_size], or a nested tuple of such elements.
    initial_state_fw: (optional) An initial state for the forward RNN.
      This must be a tensor of appropriate type and shape
      `[batch_size, cell_fw.state_size]`.
      If `cell_fw.state_size` is a tuple, this should be a tuple of
      tensors having shapes `[batch_size, s] for s in cell_fw.state_size`.
    initial_state_bw: (optional) Same as for `initial_state_fw`, but using
      the corresponding properties of `cell_bw`.
    dtype: (optional) The data type for the initial state.  Required if
      either of the initial states are not provided.
    sequence_length: (optional) An int32/int64 vector, size `[batch_size]`,
      containing the actual lengths for each of the sequences.
    scope: VariableScope for the created subgraph; defaults to
      "bidirectional_rnn"

  Returns:
    A tuple (outputs, output_state_fw, output_state_bw) where:
      outputs is a length `T` list of outputs (one for each input), which
        are depth-concatenated forward and backward outputs.
      output_state_fw is the final state of the forward rnn.
      output_state_bw is the final state of the backward rnn.

  Raises:
    TypeError: If `cell_fw` or `cell_bw` is not an instance of `RNNCell`.
    ValueError: If inputs is None or an empty list.
