how to get all the states from an bidirectional rnn in tensorflow

Question

i'm using Tensorflow to build a bidirectional autoencoder . in my work need to access all the states in a sequence and not just the last one but the function outputs, state, state = rnn.bidirectional_rnn just returns the last state f the sequence . how can i get other states?

Answer 1

this can be don with making another bidirectional rnn just with less layers cause the output of this new one would be the states
