  """Sequence-to-sequence model with attention and for multiple buckets.

  This class implements a multi-layer recurrent neural network as encoder,
  and an attention-based decoder. This is the same as the model described in
  this paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.7449 - please look there for details,
  or into the seq2seq library for complete model implementation.
  This class also allows to use GRU cells in addition to LSTM cells, and
  sampled softmax to handle large output vocabulary size. A single-layer
  version of this model, but with bi-directional encoder, was presented in
    http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.0473
  and sampled softmax is described in Section 3 of the following paper.

        length. Training instances that have inputs longer than I or outputs
        longer than O will be pushed to the next bucket and padded accordingly.
