Long short-term memory unit (LSTM) recurrent network cell.

The default non-peephole implementation is based on:

  http://deeplearning.cs.cmu.edu/pdfs/Hochreiter97_lstm.pdf

S. Hochreiter and J. Schmidhuber.
"Long Short-Term Memory". Neural Computation, 9(8):1735-1780, 1997.

The peephole implementation is based on:

  https://research.google.com/pubs/archive/43905.pdf

Hasim Sak, Andrew Senior, and Francoise Beaufays.
"Long short-term memory recurrent neural network architectures for
 large scale acoustic modeling." INTERSPEECH, 2014.

The class uses optional peep-hole connections, optional cell clipping, and
an optional projection layer.

#### `tf.nn.rnn_cell.LSTMCell.__call__(inputs, state, scope=None)` {#LSTMCell.__call__}

Run one step of LSTM.

##### Args:


*  <b>`inputs`</b>: input Tensor, 2D, batch x num_units.
*  <b>`state`</b>: if `state_is_tuple` is False, this must be a state Tensor,
    `2-D, batch x state_size`.  If `state_is_tuple` is True, this must be a
    tuple of state Tensors, both `2-D`, with column sizes `c_state` and
    `m_state`.
*  <b>`scope`</b>: VariableScope for the created subgraph; defaults to "LSTMCell".

##### Returns:

  A tuple containing:

  - A `2-D, [batch x output_dim]`, Tensor representing the output of the
    LSTM after reading `inputs` when previous state was `state`.
    Here output_dim is:
       num_proj if num_proj was set,
       num_units otherwise.
  - Tensor(s) representing the new state of LSTM after reading `inputs` when
    the previous state was `state`.  Same type and shape(s) as `state`.

##### Raises:


*  <b>`ValueError`</b>: If input size cannot be inferred from inputs via
    static shape inference.

#### `tf.nn.rnn_cell.LSTMCell.__init__(num_units, input_size=None, use_peepholes=False, cell_clip=None, initializer=None, num_proj=None, proj_clip=None, num_unit_shards=1, num_proj_shards=1, forget_bias=1.0, state_is_tuple=True, activation=tanh)` {#LSTMCell.__init__}

Initialize the parameters for an LSTM cell.

##### Args:


*  <b>`num_units`</b>: int, The number of units in the LSTM cell
*  <b>`input_size`</b>: Deprecated and unused.
*  <b>`use_peepholes`</b>: bool, set True to enable diagonal/peephole connections.
*  <b>`cell_clip`</b>: (optional) A float value, if provided the cell state is clipped
    by this value prior to the cell output activation.
*  <b>`initializer`</b>: (optional) The initializer to use for the weight and
    projection matrices.
*  <b>`num_proj`</b>: (optional) int, The output dimensionality for the projection
    matrices.  If None, no projection is performed.
*  <b>`proj_clip`</b>: (optional) A float value.  If `num_proj > 0` and `proj_clip` is
  provided, then the projected values are clipped elementwise to within
  `[-proj_clip, proj_clip]`.

*  <b>`num_unit_shards`</b>: How to split the weight matrix.  If >1, the weight
    matrix is stored across num_unit_shards.
*  <b>`num_proj_shards`</b>: How to split the projection matrix.  If >1, the
    projection matrix is stored across num_proj_shards.
*  <b>`forget_bias`</b>: Biases of the forget gate are initialized by default to 1
    in order to reduce the scale of forgetting at the beginning of
    the training.
*  <b>`state_is_tuple`</b>: If True, accepted and returned states are 2-tuples of
    the `c_state` and `m_state`.  If False, they are concatenated
    along the column axis.  This latter behavior will soon be deprecated.
*  <b>`activation`</b>: Activation function of the inner states.

#### `tf.nn.rnn_cell.LSTMCell.zero_state(batch_size, dtype)` {#LSTMCell.zero_state}

Return zero-filled state tensor(s).

##### Args:


*  <b>`batch_size`</b>: int, float, or unit Tensor representing the batch size.
*  <b>`dtype`</b>: 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 x 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 x s]` for each s in `state_size`.
