Build a bi-directional recurrent neural network (LSTM) with TensorFlow.
References:
This example is using MNIST handwritten digits. The dataset contains 60,000 examples for training and 10,000 examples for testing. The digits have been size-normalized and centered in a fixed-size image (28x28 pixels) with values from 0 to 1. For simplicity, each image has been flattened and converted to a 1-D numpy array of 784 features (28*28).
To classify images using a recurrent neural network, we consider every image row as a sequence of pixels. Because MNIST image shape is 28*28px, we will then handle 28 sequences of 28 timesteps for every sample.
