As requested by @yorkerlin, this PR adds the functionality to treat flattened weight matrices of embedding layers.
With this option, we can reshape
W
(2d) intovec(W)
(1d), and use a pre-conditioner that consists of a single Kronecker factor (usually equipped with diagonal structure). This allows training embedding layer weights with inverse- and root-free RMSProp.
