Flux.Conv — Type.Conv(size, in=>out)
Conv(size, in=>out, relu)Standard convolutional layer. size should be a tuple like (2, 2). in and out specify the number of input and output channels respectively.

size = (2,2)
in = 1
out = 16
-Conv((2, 2), 1=>16, relu)Data should be stored in WHCN order (width, height, # channels, # batches). In other words, a 100×100 RGB image would be a 100×100×3×1 array, and a batch of 50 would be a 100×100×3×50 array.

ϵ = 1e-8, momentum = .1)Batch Normalization layer. The channels input should be the size of the channel dimension in your data (see below).
Given an array with N dimensions, call the N-1th the channel dimension. (For a batch of feature vectors this is just the data dimension, for WHCN images it's the usual channel dimension.)
BatchNorm computes the mean and variance for each each W×H×1×N slice and shifts them to have a new mean and variance (corresponding to the learnable, per-channel bias and scale parameters).

If you use the RNN(10, 5) constructor – as opposed to RNNCell – you'll see that it's simply a wrapped cell.

Recur(RNNCell(Dense(15, 5)))Often we want to work with sequences of inputs, rather than individual xs.
seq = [rand(10) for i = 1:10]With Recur, applying our model to each element of a sequence is trivial:
m.(seq) # returns a list of 5-element vectorsThis works even when we've chain recurrent layers into a larger model.
m = Chain(LSTM(10, 15), Dense(15, 5))
-m.(seq)By default, calculating the gradients in a recurrent layer involves its entire history. For example, if we call the model on 100 inputs, we'll have to calculate the gradient for those 100 calls. If we then calculate another 10 inputs we have to calculate 110 gradients – this accumulates and quickly becomes expensive.
To avoid this we can truncate the gradient calculation, forgetting the history.
truncate!(m)Calling truncate! wipes the slate clean, so we can call the model with more inputs without building up an expensive gradient computation.
truncate! makes sense when you are working with multiple chunks of a large sequence, but we may also want to work with a set of independent sequences. In this case the hidden state should be completely reset to its original value, throwing away any accumulated information. reset! does this for you.
