3D tensor with shape: `(samples, steps, features)`.

Just put it on top of an RNN Layer (GRU/LSTM/SimpleRNN) with return_sequences=True.
The dimensions are inferred based on the output shape of the RNN.
Note: The layer has been tested with Keras 1.x
Example:
model.add(LSTM(64, return_sequences=True))
model.add(Attention())
# next add a Dense layer (for classification/regression) or whatever...
