Description
I try to get up and running with Keras+Tensorflow for RNN for text analysis. I have managed to push my problem down to the following:

In [1]: import keras, keras.layers.core, keras.layers.recurrent, keras.models, tensorflow
Using TensorFlow backend.
In [2]: model = keras.models.Sequential()
In [3]: model.add(keras.layers.core.Lambda(lambda c: c, input_shape=(6486, 97), output_shape=(6486, 97)))
In [4]: model.add(keras.layers.recurrent.LSTM(12))
In [5]: model.summary()

Initial input shape: (None, 6486, 97)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Layer (name) Output Shape Param #
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lambda (lambda) (None, 6486, 97) 0
LSTM (lstm) (None, 12) 5280
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total params: 5280
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In [6]: model.compile(loss='MAE', optimizer='rmsprop')
At this point, the machine starts churning with a single processor pegged at 100%, and allocating memory. I stopped this once it got up to several gigs (4-5 or so).

It looks like you are trying to compile a LSTM with 6486 timesteps. In TensorFlow, LSTMs (and other RNNs) are unrolled, and so you are going to generate 6.5k timesteps worth of graph operations. Obviously this is not going to work out well.
Solution: break your sequences into smaller ones, and maybe use a stateful LSTM if you think that's necessary. I recommend sequences with at most 200 timesteps.
