  f = sigmoid(cs_prev * wcf + f)
  ci = tanh(ci)

  cs = ci .* i + cs_prev .* f
  cs = clip(cs, cell_clip)

  o = sigmoid(cs * wco + o)
  co = tanh(cs)
  h = co .* o

  This is an extremely efficient LSTM implementation, that uses a single TF op

  The implementation is based on: http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.2329.

  We add forget_bias (default: 1) to the biases of the forget gate in order to
  reduce the scale of forgetting in the beginning of the training.
