How to do the Convolution Operation for inputs in each time step ? about deepsense

[yscacaca]

Here WIDE represents the wide of timescale. I'm not sure what your meaning of "convolution in parallel way". If you mean whether the computations can be paralleled, the answer will be yes.

Yes that what I was asking . So in a Session when I feed the dict it should be distributed in the sequential way (Inputs in each time steps).
So basically if the batch size is 1 , Each input and each time step should go through the CNN then feed it to the LSTM and we jointly train . Am I right ?

[yscacaca]

That's true. The inputs for each step go through CNNs, which can be done parallelly. Then the outputs are fed sequentially to the RNNs along time.

Oh nice. So with this implementation CNN weights also distributed in time axis as in RNN . So when optimizing we update each layers weight of CNN with BPTT. As I understood this property is obtained by feeding the inputs in a correct shape. So finally it would be really nice if you can explain bit more about dimensions of each batch . It would be really nice .

[shamanez]

yeah cab you explain on this . As the final thing ?

[yscacaca]

Take acc_inputs as an example. The size of this input is (BATCH_SIZE, WIDE, FEATURE_DIM, CHANNEL=1).

BATCH_SIZE: the batch size of the input.
WIDE: the wide of time scale or the number of time steps.
FEATURE_DIM and CHANNEL: you can follow the explanation here

Nice.
