Struct rcudnn::utils::RnnConfig

pub struct RnnConfig {
    pub hidden_size: c_int,
    pub num_layers: c_int,
    pub sequence_length: c_int,
    /* private fields */
}

Provides an interfaces for CUDNN’s Rnn Descriptor

Arguments

• rnn_desc Previously created descriptor
• hidden_size Size of the hidden layer
• num_layers Number of layers
• dropout_desc Descriptor to a previously created & initialized dropout descriptor, applied between layers.
• input_mode Specifies behaviour at the input to the first layer
• direction_mode Specifies the recurrence pattern - i.e bidirectional
• rnn_mode Type of network used in routines ForwardInference, ForwardTraining, BackwardData, BackwardWeights. Can be ReLU, tanh, LSTM (Long Short Term Memory), or GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit).
• algo - Only required in v6 implementation FIXME: Should this be checked in compilation?
• data_type Math Precision - default f32

The LSTM network offered by CUDNN is a four-gate network that does not use peephole connections. Greff, et al. (2015)1 suggests it doesn’t matter what kind of network it is, although Jozefowicz, et al. (2015)2 suggests that the most important gates are the forget and input, followed by the output gate, so the peephole connection isn’t as important to be concerned with. A positive bias, as encouraged in the paper, can be achieved by setting bias_mode to CUDNN_RNN_DOUBLE_BIAS, which is the default, or CUDN_RNN_SINGLE_INP_BIAS or CUDNN_RNN_SINGLE_REC_BIAS
