tf.raw_ops.CTCLoss

Calculates the CTC Loss (log probability) for each batch entry. Also calculates

the gradient. This class performs the softmax operation for you, so inputs should be e.g. linear projections of outputs by an LSTM.

Args
inputs A Tensor. Must be one of the following types: float32, float64. 3-D, shape: (max_time x batch_size x num_classes), the logits.
labels_indices A Tensor of type int64. The indices of a SparseTensor<int32, 2>. labels_indices(i, :) == [b, t] means labels_values(i) stores the id for (batch b, time t).
labels_values A Tensor of type int32. The values (labels) associated with the given batch and time.
sequence_length A Tensor of type int32. A vector containing sequence lengths (batch).
preprocess_collapse_repeated An optional bool. Defaults to False. Scalar, if true then repeated labels are collapsed prior to the CTC calculation.
ctc_merge_repeated An optional bool. Defaults to True. Scalar. If set to false, during CTC calculation repeated non-blank labels will not be merged and are interpreted as individual labels. This is a simplified version of CTC.
ignore_longer_outputs_than_inputs An optional bool. Defaults to False. Scalar. If set to true, during CTC calculation, items that have longer output sequences than input sequences are skipped: they don't contribute to the loss term and have zero-gradient.
name A name for the operation (optional).
Returns
A tuple of Tensor objects (loss, gradient).
loss A Tensor. Has the same type as inputs.
gradient A Tensor. Has the same type as inputs.
