/**
 * ConvolutionalComponent implements 2d-convolution.
 * It uses 3D filters on 3D inputs, but the 3D filters hop only over
 * 2 dimensions as it has same size as the input along the 3rd dimension.
 * Input : A matrix where each row is a  vectorized 3D-tensor.
 *        The 3D tensor has dimensions
 *        x: (e.g. time)
 *        y: (e.g. frequency)
 *        z: (e.g. channels like features/delta/delta-delta)
 *
 *        The component supports input vectorizations of type zyx and yzx.
 *        The default vectorization type is zyx.
 *        e.g. for input vectorization of type zyx the input is vectorized by
 *        spanning axes z, y and x of the tensor in that order.
 *        Given 3d tensor A with sizes (2, 2, 2) along the three dimensions
 *        the zyx vectorized input looks like
 *  A(0,0,0) A(0,0,1) A(0,1,0) A(0,1,1) A(1,0,0) A(1,0,1) A(1,1,0) A(1,1,1)
 *
 *
 * Output : The output is also a 3D tensor vectorized in the zyx format.
 *          The channel axis (z) in the output corresponds to the output of
 *          different filters. The first channel corresponds to the first filter
 *          i.e., first row of the filter_params_ matrix.
 *
 * Note: The component has to support yzx input vectorization as the binaries
 * like add-deltas generate yz vectorized output. These input vectors are
 * concatenated using the Append descriptor across time steps to form a yzx
 * vectorized 3D tensor input.
 * e.g. Append(Offset(input, -1), input, Offset(input, 1))
 *
 *
 * For information on the hyperparameters and parameters of this component see
 * the variable declarations.
 *
 * Propagation:
 * ------------
 * Convolution operation consists of a dot-products between the filter tensor
 * and input tensor patch, for various shifts of filter tensor along the x and y
 * axes input tensor. (Note: there is no shift along z-axis as the filter and
 * input tensor have same size along this axis).
 *
 * For a particular shift (i,j) of the filter tensor
 * along input tensor dimensions x and y, the elements of the input tensor which
 * overlap with the filter form the input tensor patch. This patch is vectorized
 * in zyx format. All the patches corresponding to various samples in the
 * mini-batch are stacked into a matrix, where each row corresponds to one
 * patch. Let this matrix be represented by X_{i,j}. The dot products with
 * various filters are computed simultaneously by computing the matrix product
 * with the filter_params_ matrix (W)
 * Y_{i,j} = X_{i,j}*W^T.
 * Each row of W corresponds to one filter 3D tensor vectorized in zyx format.
 *
 * All the matrix products corresponding to various shifts (i,j) of the
 * filter tensor are computed simultaneously using the AddMatMatBatched
 * call of CuMatrixBase class.
 *
 * BackPropagation:
 * ----------------
 *  Backpropagation to compute the input derivative (\nabla X_{i,j})
 *  consists of the a series of matrix products.
 *  \nablaX_{i,j} = \nablaY_{i,j}*W where \nablaY_{i,j} corresponds to the
 *   output derivative for a particular shift of the filter.
 *
 *   Once again these matrix products are computed simultaneously.
 *
 * Update:
 * -------
 *  The weight gradient is computed as
 *  \nablaW = \Sum_{i,j} (X_{i,j}^T *\nablaY_{i,j})

// Long Short-Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network Architectures for Large Scale Acoustic Modeling"
// by H. Sak et al,
// http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.com/en//pubs/archive/43905.pdf.
//
// Suppose the cell dimension is C.  Then outside this component, we compute
// the 4 * C-dimensional quantity consisting of 4 blocks as follows, by a single
// matrix multiplication:
//
// i_part = W_{ix} x_t + W_{im} m_{t-1} + b_i
// f_part = W_{fx} x_t + W_{fm} m_{t-1} + b_f
// c_part = W_{cx} x_t + W_{cm} m_{t-1} + b_c
// o_part = W_{cx} x_t + W_{om} m_{t-1} + b_o
//
// The part of the computation that takes place in this component is as follows.
// Its input is of dimension 5C, consisting of 5 blocks: (i_part, f_part, c_part, o_part, and
// c_{t-1}).  Its output is of dimension 2C, consisting of 2 blocks: c_t and m_t.
//
// To recap: the input is (i_part, f_part, c_part, o_part, c_{t-1}); the output is (c_t, m_t).
//
//
// This component has parameters, 3C of them in total: the diagonal matrices w_i, w_f
// and w_o.
//
//
// In the forward pass (Propagate), this component computes the following:
//
//    i_t = Sigmoid(i_part + w_{ic}*c_{t-1})   (1)
//    f_t = Sigmoid(f_part + w_{fc}*c_{t-1})   (2)
//    c_t = f_t*c_{t-1} + i_t * Tanh(c_part)   (3)
//    o_t = Sigmoid(o_part + w_{oc}*c_t)       (4)
//    m_t = o_t * Tanh(c_t)                    (5)
//   # note: the outputs are just c_t and m_t.
//
// The backprop is as you would think, but for the "self-repair" we need to pass
// in additional vectors (of the same dim as the parameters of the layer) that
// dictate whether or not we add an additional term to the backpropagated
// derivatives.  (This term helps force the input to the nonlinearities into the
// range where the derivatives are not too small).
//
// This component stores stats of the same form as are normally stored by the
// StoreStats() functions for the sigmoid and tanh units, i.e. averages of the
// activations and derivatives, but this is done inside the Backprop() functions.
// [the StoreStats() functions don't take the input data as an argument, so
// storing this data that way is impossible, and anyway it's more efficient to
// do it as part of backprop.]

/*
 * MaxPoolingComponent :
 * Maxpooling component was firstly used in ConvNet for selecting an
 * representative activation in an area. It inspired Maxout nonlinearity.
 * Each output element of this component is the maximum of a block of
 * input elements where the block has a 3D dimension (pool_x_size_,
 * pool_y_size_, pool_z_size_).
 * Blocks could overlap if the shift value on any axis is smaller
 * than its corresponding pool size (e.g. pool_x_step_ < pool_x_size_).
 * If the shift values are euqal to their pool size, there is no
 * overlap; while if they all equal 1, the blocks overlap to
 * the greatest possible extent.
 *
 * This component is designed to be used after a ConvolutionComponent
 * so that the input matrix is propagated from a 2d-convolutional layer.
 * This component implements 3d-maxpooling which performs
 * max pooling along the three axes.
 * Input : A matrix where each row is a vectorized 3D-tensor.
 *        The 3D tensor has dimensions
 *        x: (e.g. time)
 *        y: (e.g. frequency)
 *        z: (e.g. channels like number of filters in the ConvolutionComponent)
 *
 *        The component assumes input vectorizations of type zyx
 *        which is the default output vectorization type of a ConvolutionComponent.
 *        e.g. for input vectorization of type zyx the input is vectorized by
 *        spanning axes z, y and x of the tensor in that order.
 *        Given 3d tensor A with sizes (2, 2, 2) along the three dimensions
 *        the zyx vectorized input looks like
 *  A(0,0,0) A(0,0,1) A(0,1,0) A(0,1,1) A(1,0,0) A(1,0,1) A(1,1,0) A(1,1,1)
 *
 * Output : The output is also a 3D tensor vectorized in the zyx format.
 *
 * For information on the hyperparameters and parameters of this component see
 * the variable declarations.

/**
   CompositeComponent is a component representing a sequence of
   [simple] components.  The config line would be something like the following
   (imagine this is all on one line):

   component name=composite1 type=CompositeComponent max-rows-process=2048 num-components=3 \
      component1='type=BlockAffineComponent input-dim=1000 output-dim=10000 num-blocks=100' \
      component2='type=RectifiedLinearComponent dim=10000' \
      component3='type=BlockAffineComponent input-dim=10000 output-dim=1000 num-blocks=100'

   The reason you might want to use this component, instead of directly using
   the same sequence of components in the config file, is to save GPU memory (at
   the expense of more compute)-- because doing it like this means we have to
   re-do parts of the forward pass in the backprop phase, but we avoid using
   much memory for very long (and you can make the memory usage very small by
   making max-rows-process small).  We inherit from UpdatableComponent just in
   case one or more of the components in the sequence are updatable.

   It is an error to nest a CompositeComponent inside a CompositeComponent.
   The same effect can be accomplished by specifying a smaller max-rows-process
   in a single CompositeComponent.
