create a bidirectional LSTM

class BRNN(nn.Module):

        super(BRNN, self).__init__()
        self.hidden_size = hidden_size
        self.num_layers = num_layers
        self.lstm = nn.LSTM(
            input_size, hidden_size, num_layers, batch_first=True, bidirectional=True
        )
        self.fc = nn.Linear(hidden_size * 2, num_classes)

    def forward(self, x):
        h0 = torch.zeros(self.num_layers * 2, x.size(0), self.hidden_size).to(device)
        #  num_layers *2 one for forward,one of backword
        c0 = torch.zeros(self.num_layers * 2, x.size(0), self.hidden_size).to(device)

        out, _ = self.lstm(x, (h0, c0))
        out = self.fc(out[:, -1, :])

        return out
