RNN#

The RNN primitive computes a stack of unrolled recurrent cells, as depicted in Figure 1. \(\bias\), \(\srciter\) and \(\dstiter\) are optional parameters. If not provided, \(\bias\) and \(\srciter\) default to 0. Variable names follow the standard Conventions.

../../../../_images/unrolled_stack_rnn.jpg

The RNN primitive supports four modes for evaluation direction:

left2right will process the input data timestamps by increasing order,
right2left will process the input data timestamps by decreasing order,
bidirectional_concat will process all the stacked layers from left2right and from right2left independently, and will concatenate the output in \(\dstlayer\) over the channel dimension,
bidirectional_sum will process all the stacked layers from left2right and from right2left independently, and will sum the two outputs to \(\dstlayer\).

Even though the RNN primitive supports passing a different number of channels for \(\srclayer\), \(\srciter\), \(\dstlayer\), and \(\dstiter\), we always require the following conditions in order for the dimension to be consistent:

\(channels(\dstlayer) = channels(\dstiter)\),
when \(T > 1\), \(channels(\srciter) = channels(\dstiter)\),
when \(L > 1\), \(channels(\srclayer) = channels(\dstlayer)\),
when using the bidirectional_concat direction, \(channels(\dstlayer) = 2 * channels(\dstiter)\).

The general formula for the execution of a stack of unrolled recurrent cells depends on the current iteration of the previous layer (\(h_{t,l-1}\) and \(c_{t,l-1}\)) and the previous iteration of the current layer (\(h_{t-1, l}\)). Here is the exact equation for non-LSTM cells:

\[h_{t, l} = Cell(h_{t, l-1}, h_{t-1, l})\]

where \(t\), \(l\) are the indices of the timestamp and the layer of the cell being executed.

And here is the equation for LSTM cells:

\[(h_{t, l},c_{t,l}) = Cell(h_{t, l-1}, h_{t-1, l}, c_{t-1,l})\]

where \(t\), \(l\) are the indices of the timestamp and the layer of the cell being executed.

Cell Functions#

The RNN API provides six cell functions:

Vanilla RNN, a single-gate recurrent cell,
LSTM, a four-gate long short-term memory cell,
GRU, a three-gate gated recurrent unit cell,
Linear-before-reset GRU, a three-gate recurrent unit cell with the linear layer before the reset gate.
AUGRU, a three-gate gated recurrent unit cell with the attention update gate,
Linear-before-reset AUGRU, a three-gate recurrent unit cell with the linear layer before the reset gate and the attention update gate.

Vanilla RNN#

A single-gate recurrent cell initialized with dnnl::vanilla_rnn_forward::primitive_desc or dnnl::vanilla_rnn_forward::primitive_desc as in the following example.

auto vanilla_rnn_pd =
    dnnl::vanilla_rnn_forward::primitive_desc(engine, aprop,
    activation, direction, src_layer_desc, src_iter_desc,
    weights_layer_desc, weights_iter_desc, bias_desc,
    dst_layer_desc, dst_iter_desc, attr);

The Vanilla RNN cell should support the ReLU, Tanh and Sigmoid activation functions. The following equations defines the mathematical operation performed by the Vanilla RNN cell for the forward pass:

\[\begin{split}a_t &= W \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B \\ h_t &= activation(a_t)\end{split}\]

LSTM#

LSTM (or Vanilla LSTM)#

A four-gate long short-term memory recurrent cell initialized with dnnl::lstm_forward::primitive_desc or dnnl::lstm_backward::primitive_desc as in the following example.

auto lstm_pd = dnnl::lstm_forward::primitive_desc(engine, aprop,
    direction, src_layer_desc, src_iter_h_desc, src_iter_c_desc,
    weights_layer_desc, weights_iter_desc, bias_desc,
    dst_layer_desc, dst_iter_h_desc, dst_iter_c_desc, attr);

Note that for all tensors with a dimension depending on the gates number, we implicitly require the order of these gates to be \(i\), \(f\), \(\tilde c\), and \(o\). The following equation gives the mathematical description of these gates and output for the forward pass:

\[\begin{split}i_t &= \sigma(W_i \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_i \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_i) \\ f_t &= \sigma(W_f \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_f \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_f) \\ \\ \tilde c_t &= tanh(W_{\tilde c} \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_{\tilde c} \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_{\tilde c}) \\ c_t &= f_t * c_{t-1} + i_t * \tilde c_t \\ \\ o_t &= \sigma(W_o \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_o \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_o) \\ h_t &= tanh(c_t) * o_t\end{split}\]

where \(W_*\) are stored in \(\weightslayer\), \(U_*\) are stored in \(\weightsiter\) and \(B_*\) are stored in \(\bias\).

Note

In order for the dimensions to be consistent, we require \(channels(\srciterc) = channels(\dstiterc) = channels(\dstiter)\).

LSTM with Peephole#

A four-gate long short-term memory recurrent cell with peephole initialized with dnnl::lstm_forward::primitive_desc or dnnl::lstm_backward::primitive_desc as in the following example.

auto lstm_pd = dnnl::lstm_forward::primitive_desc(engine, aprop,
    direction, src_layer_desc, src_iter_h_desc, src_iter_c_desc,
    weights_layer_desc, weights_iter_desc, weights_peephole_desc,
    bias_desc, dst_layer_desc, dst_iter_h_desc, dst_iter_c_desc,
    attr);

Similarly to vanilla LSTM, we implicitly require the order of these gates to be \(i\), \(f\), \(\tilde c\), and \(o\). For peephole weights, the gates order is:math:i, \(f\), \(o\). The following equation gives the mathematical description of these gates and output for the forward pass:

\[\begin{split}i_t &= \sigma(W_i \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_i \cdot h_{t-1, l} + P_i \cdot c_{t-1} + B_i) \\ f_t &= \sigma(W_f \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_f \cdot h_{t-1, l} + P_f \cdot c_{t-1} + B_f) \\ \\ \tilde c_t &= tanh(W_{\tilde c} \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_{\tilde c} \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_{\tilde c}) \\ c_t &= f_t * c_{t-1} + i_t * \tilde c_t \\ \\ o_t &= \sigma(W_o \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_o \cdot h_{t-1, l} + P_o \cdot c_t + B_o) \\ h_t &= tanh(c_t) * o_t\end{split}\]

where \(P_*\) are stored in weights_peephole, and the other parameters are the same as in vanilla LSTM.

Note

If the weights_peephole_desc passed to the primitive descriptor constructor is a zero memory descriptor, the primitive will behave the same as in LSTM primitive without peephole.

LSTM with Projection#

A four-gate long short-term memory recurrent cell with projection initialized with dnnl::lstm_forward::primitive_desc or dnnl::lstm_backward::primitive_desc as in the following example.

auto lstm_pd = dnnl::lstm_forward::primitive_desc(engine, aprop,
    direction, src_layer_desc, src_iter_h_desc, src_iter_c_desc,
    weights_layer_desc, weights_iter_desc, weights_peephole_desc,
    weights_projection_desc, bias_desc, dst_layer_desc,
    dst_iter_h_desc, dst_iter_c_desc, attr);

Similarly to vanilla LSTM, we implicitly require the order of the gates to be i, \(f\), \(\tilde c\), and \(o\) for all tensors with a dimension depending on the gates. The following equation gives the mathematical description of these gates and output for the forward pass (for simplicity, LSTM without peephole is shown):

\[\begin{split}i_t &= \sigma(W_i \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_i \cdot h_{t-1,l} + B_i) \\ f_t &= \sigma(W_f \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_f \cdot h_{t-1,l} + B_f) \\ & \\ \tilde{c}_t &= \tanh(W_{\tilde{c}} \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_{\tilde{c}} \cdot h_{t-1,l} + B_{\tilde{c}}) \\ c_t &= f_t * c_{t-1} + i_t * \tilde{c}_t \\ & \\ o_t &= \sigma(W_o \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_o \cdot h_{t-1,l} + B_o) \\ h_t &= R \cdot (\tanh(c_t) * o_t)\end{split}\]

where \(R\) is stored in weights_projection, and the other parameters are the same as in vanilla LSTM.

Note

If the weights_projection_desc passed to the primitive descriptor constructor is a zero memory descriptor, the primitive will behave the same as in LSTM primitive without projection.

GRU#

A three-gate gated recurrent unit cell, initialized with dnnl::gru_forward::primitive_desc or dnnl::gru_backward::primitive_desc as in the following example.

auto gru_pd = dnnl::gru_forward::primitive_desc(engine, aprop,
    direction, src_layer_desc, src_iter_desc, weights_layer_desc,
    weights_iter_desc, bias_desc, dst_layer_desc, dst_iter_desc,
    attr);

Note that for all tensors with a dimension depending on the gates number, we implicitly require the order of these gates to be:math:u, \(r\), and \(o\). The following equation gives the mathematical definition of these gates.

\[\begin{split}u_t &= \sigma(W_u \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_u \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_u) \\ r_t &= \sigma(W_r \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_r \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_r) \\ o_t &= tanh(W_o \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_o \cdot (r_t * h_{t-1, l}) + B_o) \\ h_t &= u_t * h_{t-1, l} + (1 - u_t) * o_t\end{split}\]

where \(W_*\) are in \(\weightslayer\), \(U_*\) are in \(\weightsiter\), and \(B_*\) are stored in \(\bias\).

Note

If you need to replace \(u_t\) by \((1-u_t)\) when computing \(h_t\), you can achieve this by multiplying \(W_u\), \(U_u\) and \(B_u\) by \(-1\). This is possible as \(u_t = \sigma(W_u \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_u \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_u)\), and \(1 – \sigma(a) = \sigma(-a)\).

Linear-Before-Reset GRU#

A three-gate gated recurrent unit cell with linear layer applied before the reset gate, initialized with dnnl::lbr_gru_forward::primitive_desc or dnnl::lbr_gru_backward::primitive_desc as in the following example.

auto lbr_gru_pd = dnnl::lbr_gru_forward::primitive_desc(engine,
    aprop, direction, src_layer_desc, src_iter_desc,
    weights_layer_desc, weights_iter_desc, bias_desc,
    dst_layer_desc, dst_iter_desc, attr);

The following equation describes the mathematical behavior of the Linear-Before-Reset GRU cell.

\[\begin{split}u_t &= \sigma(W_u \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_u \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_u) \\ r_t &= \sigma(W_r \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_r \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_r) \\ o_t &= tanh(W_o \cdot h_{t,l-1} + r_t * (U_o \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_{u'}) + B_o) \\ h_t &= u_t * h_{t-1, l} + (1 - u_t) * o_t\end{split}\]

Note that for all tensors with a dimension depending on the gates number, except the bias, we implicitly require the order of these gates to be \(u\), \(r\), and \(o\). For the \(\bias\) tensor, we implicitly require the order of the gates to be \(u\), \(r\), \(o\), and \(u'\).

Note

AUGRU#

auto augru_pd = dnnl::augru_forward::primitive_desc(engine, aprop,
    direction, src_layer_desc, src_iter_desc, attention_desc,
    weights_layer_desc, weights_iter_desc, bias_desc,
    dst_layer_desc, dst_iter_desc, attr);

Note that for all tensors with a dimension depending on the gate number, we implicitly require the order of these gates to be \(u\), \(r\), and \(o\). The following equation gives the mathematical definition of these gates.

\[\begin{split}u_t &= \sigma(W_u \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_u \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_u) \\ r_t &= \sigma(W_r \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_r \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_r) \\ o_t &= \tanh(W_o \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_o \cdot (r_t * h_{t-1, l}) + B_o) \\ \tilde u_t &= (1 - a_t) * u_t \\ h_t &= \tilde u_t * h_{t-1, l} + (1 - \tilde u_t) * o_t\end{split}\]

where \(W_*\) are in weightslayer, \(U_*\) are in weightsiter, and \(B_*\) are stored in bias.

Linear-Before-Reset AUGRU#

A three-gate gated recurrent unit cell with linear layer applied before the reset gate, initialized with dnnl::lbr_augru_forward::primitive_desc or dnnl::lbr_augru_backward::primitive_desc as in the following example.

auto lbr_augru_pd =
    dnnl::lbr_augru_forward::primitive_desc(engine, aprop,
    direction, src_layer_desc, src_iter_desc, attention_desc,
    weights_layer_desc, weights_iter_desc, bias_desc,
    dst_layer_desc, dst_iter_desc, attr);

The following equation describes the mathematical behavior of the Linear-Before-Reset AUGRU cell.

\[\begin{split}u_t &= \sigma(W_u \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_u \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_u) \\ r_t &= \sigma(W_r \cdot h_{t,l-1} + U_r \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_r) \\ o_t &= \tanh(W_o \cdot h_{t,l-1} + r_t *(U_o \cdot h_{t-1, l} + B_{u'}) + B_o) \\ \tilde u_t &= (1 - a_t) * u_t \\ h_t &= \tilde u_t * h_{t-1, l} + (1 - \tilde u_t) * o_t\end{split}\]

Note that for all tensors with a dimension depending on the gate number, except the bias, we implicitly require the order of these gates to be \(u\), \(r\), and \(o\). For the bias tensor, we implicitly require the order of the gates to be \(u\), \(r\), \(o\), and \(u'\).

Data Types Support#

The following table lists the combination of data types that should be supported by the RNN primitive for each input and output memory object.

Note

Here we abbreviate data types names for readability. For example, dnnl::memory::data_type::f32 is abbreviated to f32.

Propagation	Cell Function	Input Data	Recurrent Data (1)	Weights	Bias	Output Data
Forward / Backward	All	`f32`	`f32`	`f32`	`f32`	`f32`
Forward / Backward (2)	All (3)	`bf16`	`bf16`	`bf16`	`f32`	`bf16`
Forward	All (3)	`f16`	`f16`	`f16`	`f16`	`f16`
Forward inference	Vanilla LSTM	`u8`	`u8`	`s8`	`f32`	`u8`, `f32`

With LSTM and Peephole LSTM cells, the cell state data type is always f32.
In backward propagation, all diff_* tensors are in f32.
Projection LSTM is not defined yet.

Data Representation#

In the oneDNN programming model, the RNN primitive is one of a few that support the placeholder memory format #dnnl::memory::format_tag::any (shortened to any from now on) and can define data and weight memory objects format based on the primitive parameters.

The following table summarizes the data layouts supported by the RNN primitive.

Input/Output Data	Recurrent Data	Layer and Iteration Weights	Peephole Weights and Bias	Projection LSTM Weights
`any`	`any`	`any`	`ldgo`	`any`, `ldio` (Forward propagation)
`ntc`, `tnc`	`ldnc`	`ldigo`, `ldgoi`	`ldgo`	`any`, `ldio` (Forward propagation)

While an RNN primitive can be created with memory formats specified explicitly, the performance is likely to be sub-optimal. When using any it is necessary to first create an RNN primitive descriptor and then query it for the actual data and weight memory objects formats.

Note

The RNN primitive should support padded tensors and views. So even if two memory descriptors share the same data layout, they might still be different.
