    **Embedding Sequence pool**

    This layer is the fusion of lookup table and sequence_pool.

    Args:
        input (Variable): Input is a Tensor<int64> Variable, which contains the IDs' information.
            The value of the input IDs should satisfy :math:`0<= id < size[0]`.
        size (tuple|list): The shape of the lookup_table parameter. It should

            embedding and the size of each embedding vector respectively.
        is_sparse (bool): The flag indicating whether to use sparse update.
            Default: False.
        padding_idx (int|long|None): It will output all-zero padding data whenever
            lookup encounters :math:`padding\_idx` in Ids. If set :attr:`None`, it makes
            no effect to output. If :math:`padding\_idx < 0`, the :math:`padding\_idx`
            will automatically be converted to :math:`size[0] + padding\_idx` to use.
            Default: None.
        combiner (str): The pooling type of sequence_pool, and only support `sum`.
            Default: sum.

    **Multiclass NMS2**

    This operator is to do multi-class non maximum suppression (NMS) on
    boxes and scores.
    In the NMS step, this operator greedily selects a subset of detection bounding
    boxes that have high scores larger than score_threshold, if providing this
    threshold, then selects the largest nms_top_k confidences scores if nms_top_k
    is larger than -1. Then this operator pruns away boxes that have high IOU
    (intersection over union) overlap with already selected boxes by adaptive
    threshold NMS based on parameters of nms_threshold and nms_eta.
    Aftern NMS step, at most keep_top_k number of total bboxes are to be kept
    per image if keep_top_k is larger than -1.

    Args:
        bboxes (Variable): Two types of bboxes are supported:

                           N is the batch size. Each bounding box has four
                           coordinate values and the layout is 
                           [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax], when box size equals to 4.
                           2. (LoDTensor) A 3-D Tensor with shape [M, C, 4]
                           M is the number of bounding boxes, C is the 
                           class number   
        scores (Variable): Two types of scores are supported:

                           number of bounding boxes. For each category there 
                           are total M scores which corresponding M bounding

                           of BBoxes.
                           2. (LoDTensor) A 2-D LoDTensor with shape [M, C].
                           M is the number of bbox, C is the class number.
                           In this case, input BBoxes should be the second
                           case with shape [M, C, 4].
        background_label (int): The index of background label, the background 
                                label will be ignored. If set to -1, then all
                                categories will be considered. Default: 0
        score_threshold (float): Threshold to filter out bounding boxes with
                                 low confidence score. If not provided, 
                                 consider all boxes.
        nms_top_k (int): Maximum number of detections to be kept according to
                         the confidences after the filtering detections based
                         on score_threshold.

                          step. -1 means keeping all bboxes after NMS step.
        normalized (bool): Whether detections are normalized. Default: True
        return_index(bool): Whether return selected index. Default: False
        name(str): Name of the multiclass nms op. Default: None.

    Returns:
        A tuple with two Variables: (Out, Index) if return_index is True,
        otherwise, a tuple with one Variable(Out) is returned. 
        Out: A 2-D LoDTensor with shape [No, 6] represents the detections. 
        Each row has 6 values: [label, confidence, xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax] 
        or A 2-D LoDTensor with shape [No, 10] represents the detections. 
        Each row has 10 values: [label, confidence, x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, 
        x4, y4]. No is the total number of detections. 
        If all images have not detected results, all elements in LoD will be
        0, and output tensor is empty (None).
        Index: Only return when return_index is True. A 2-D LoDTensor with 
        shape [No, 1] represents the selected index which type is Integer. 
        The index is the absolute value cross batches. No is the same number 
        as Out. If the index is used to gather other attribute such as age, 
        one needs to reshape the input(N, M, 1) to (N * M, 1) as first, where 
        N is the batch size and M is the number of boxes.
