### TimeDistributed

    keras.layers.TimeDistributed(layer)

This wrapper applies a layer to every temporal slice of an input.

The input should be at least 3D, and the dimension of index one will be considered to be the temporal dimension.

Consider a batch of 32 samples, where each sample is a sequence of 10 vectors of 16 dimensions. The batch input shape of the layer is then `(32, 10, 16)`, and the `input_shape`, not including the samples dimension, is `(10, 16)`.

You can then use `TimeDistributed` to apply a `Dense` layer to each of the 10 timesteps, independently:

    # as the first layer in a model
    model = Sequential()
    model.add(TimeDistributed(Dense(8), input_shape=(10, 16)))
    # now model.output_shape == (None, 10, 8)

The output will then have shape `(32, 10, 8)`.

In subsequent layers, there is no need for the `input_shape`:

    model.add(TimeDistributed(Dense(32)))
    # now model.output_shape == (None, 10, 32)

The output will then have shape `(32, 10, 32)`.

`TimeDistributed` can be used with arbitrary layers, not just `Dense`, for instance with a `Conv2D` layer:

    model = Sequential()
    model.add(TimeDistributed(Conv2D(64, (3, 3)),
                              input_shape=(10, 299, 299, 3)))

Arguments

- layer: a layer instance.

### Bidirectional

    keras.engine.base_layer.wrapped_fn()

Bidirectional wrapper for RNNs.

Arguments

- layer: `Recurrent` instance.
- merge_mode: Mode by which outputs of the forward and backward RNNs will be combined. One of {'sum', 'mul', 'concat', 'ave', None}. If None, the outputs will not be combined, they will be returned as a list.
- weights: Initial weights to load in the Bidirectional model

Raises

- ValueError: In case of invalid `merge_mode` argument.

Examples

    model = Sequential()
    model.add(Bidirectional(LSTM(10, return_sequences=True),
                            input_shape=(5, 10)))
    model.add(Bidirectional(LSTM(10)))
    model.add(Dense(5))
    model.add(Activation('softmax'))
    model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='rmsprop')
