**TorchRecurrent** is a PyTorch-compatible collection of recurrent neural network
cells and layers from across the research literature. It aims to provide
a unified, flexible interface that feels like native PyTorch while exposing
more customization options.

## Installation

```shell
pip install torchrecurrent
```

Coming soon to conda-forge as well!

## Features

- 🔄 **30+ recurrent cells** (e.g. `LSTMCell`, `GRUCell`, and many specialized variants).
- 🏗️ **30+ recurrent layers** (e.g. `LSTM`, `GRU`, and counterparts for each cell).
- 🧩 **Unified API** — all cells/layers follow the PyTorch interface but add extra options
  for initialization and customization.
- 📚 **Comprehensive documentation** including API reference and a catalog of published models.

## Quick Example

```python
import torch
from torchrecurrent import MGU #minimal gated unit

# sequence: (time_steps, batch, input_size)
inp = torch.randn(5, 3, 10)

# initialize a MGU with hidden_size=20
rnn = MGU(input_size=10, hidden_size=20, num_layers=3)

# forward pass
out, hidden = rnn(inp)

print(out.shape)  # (time_steps, batch, hidden_size)
```
