序列标注(sequence labelling)，输入序列每一帧预测一个类别。OCR(Optical Character Recognition 光学字符识别)。
MIT口语系统研究组Rob Kassel收集，斯坦福大学人工智能实验室Ben Taskar预处理OCR数据集(http://ai.stanford.edu/~btaskar/ocr/ )，包含大量单独手写小写字母，每个样本对应16X8像素二值图像。字线组合序列，序列对应单词。6800个，长度不超过14字母的单词。gzip压缩，内容用Tab分隔文本文件。Python csv模块直接读取。文件每行一个归一化字母属性，ID号、标签、像素值、下一字母ID号等。
下一字母ID值排序，按照正确顺序读取每个单词字母。收集字母，直到下一个ID对应字段未被设置为止。读取新序列。读取完目标字母及数据像素，用零图像填充序列对象，能纳入两个较大目标字母所有像素数据NumPy数组。
时间步之间共享softmax层。数据和目标数组包含序列，每个目标字母对应一个图像帧。RNN扩展，每个字母输出添加softmax分类器。分类器对每帧数据而非整个序列评估预测结果。计算序列长度。一个softmax层添加到所有帧：或者为所有帧添加几个不同分类器，或者令所有帧共享同一个分类器。共享分类器，权值在训练中被调整次数更多，训练单词每个字母。一个全连接层权值矩阵维数batch_size*in_size*out_size。现需要在两个输入维度batch_size、sequence_steps更新权值矩阵。令输入(RNN输出活性值)扁平为形状batch_size*sequence_steps*in_size。权值矩阵变成较大的批数据。结果反扁平化(unflatten)。
代价函数，序列每一帧有预测目标对，在相应维度平均。依据张量长度(序列最大长度)归一化的tf.reduce_mean无法使用。需要按照实际序列长度归一化，手工调用tf.reduce_sum和除法运算均值。
损失函数，tf.argmax针对轴2非轴1,各帧填充，依据序列实际长度计算均值。tf.reduce_mean对批数据所有单词取均值。
TensorFlow自动导数计算，可使用序列分类相同优化运算，只需要代入新代价函数。对所有RNN梯度裁剪，防止训练发散，避免负面影响。
训练模型，get_sataset下载手写体图像，预处理，小写字母独热编码向量。随机打乱数据顺序，分偏划分训练集、测试集。
单词相邻字母存在依赖关系(或互信息)，RNN保存同一单词全部输入信息到隐含活性值。前几个字母分类，网络无大量输入推断额外信息，双向RNN(bidirectional RNN)克服缺陷。
两个RNN观测输入序列，一个按照通常顺序从左端读取单词，另一个按照相反顺序从右端读取单词。每个时间步得到两个输出活性值。送入共享softmax层前，拼接。分类器从每个字母获取完整单词信息。tf.modle.rnn.bidirectional_rnn已实现。
实现双向RNN。划分预测属性到两个函数，只关注较少内容。_shared_softmax函数，传入函数张量data推断输入尺寸。复用其他架构函数，相同扁平化技巧在所有时间步共享同一个softmax层。rnn.dynamic_rnn创建两个RNN。
序列反转，比实现新反向传递RNN运算容易。tf.reverse_sequence函数反转帧数据中sequence_lengths帧。数据流图节点有名称。scope参数是rnn_dynamic_cell变量scope名称，默认值RNN。两个参数不同RNN，需要不同域。
反转序列送入后向RNN，网络输出反转，和前向输出对齐。沿RNN神经元输出维度拼接两个张量，返回。双向RNN模型性能更优。
