tensorflow中提供了rnn接口有两种，一种是静态的rnn，一种是动态的rnn
通常用法：
1、静态接口：static_rnn
主要使用 tf.contrib.rnn
x = tf.placeholder("float", [None, n_steps, n_input])
x1 = tf.unstack(x, n_steps, 1)
lstm_cell = tf.contrib.rnn.BasicLSTMCell(n_hidden, forget_bias=1.0)
outputs, states = tf.contrib.rnn.static_rnn(lstm_cell, x1, dtype=tf.float32)
pred = tf.contrib.layers.fully_connected(outputs[-1],n_classes,activation_fn = None)静态 rnn 的意思就是在图中创建一个固定长度（n_steps）的网络。这将导致
缺点：
- 生成过程耗时更长，占内存更多，导出的模型更大；
- 无法传递比最初指定的更长的序列（> n_steps）。
优点：
模型中带有某个序列中间台的信息，便与调试。
2、动态接口：dynamic_rnn
主要使用 tf.nn.dynamic_rnn
x = tf.placeholder("float", [None, n_steps, n_input])
lstm_cell = tf.contrib.rnn.BasicLSTMCell(n_hidden, forget_bias=1.0)
outputs,_ = tf.nn.dynamic_rnn(lstm_cell ,x,dtype=tf.float32)
outputs = tf.transpose(outputs, [1, 0, 2])
pred = tf.contrib.layers.fully_connected(outputs[-1],n_classes,activation_fn = None)动态的tf.nn.dynamic_rnn被执行时，它使用循环来动态构建图形。这意味着
优点：
- 图形创建速度更快，占用内存更少；
- 并且可以提供可变大小的批处理。
缺点：
- 模型中只有最后的状态。
动态rnn的意思是只创建样本中的一个序列RNN，其他序列数据会通过循环进入该RNN运算
区别：
1、输入输出不同：
dynamic_rnn实现的功能就是可以让不同迭代传入的batch可以是长度不同数据，但同一次迭代一个batch内部的所有数据长度仍然是固定的。例如，第一时刻传入的数据shape=[batch_size, 10]，第二时刻传入的数据shape=[batch_size, 12]，第三时刻传入的数据shape=[batch_size, 8]等等。
但是static_rnn不能这样，它要求每一时刻传入的batch数据的[batch_size, max_seq]，在每次迭代过程中都保持不变。
2、训练方式不同：
具体参见参考文献1
多层LSTM的代码实现对比：
1、静态多层RNN

# Keep training until reach max iterations
while step * batch_size < training_iters:
batch_x, batch_y = mnist.train.next_batch(batch_size)
# Reshape data to get 28 seq of 28 elements

# Run optimization op (backprop)
sess.run(optimizer, feed_dict={x: batch_x, y: batch_y})
if step % display_step == 0:
# 计算批次数据的准确率
