tf.raw_ops.CTCLoss

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

tf.raw_ops.CTCLoss(
    inputs,
    labels_indices,
    labels_values,
    sequence_length,
    preprocess_collapse_repeated=False,
    ctc_merge_repeated=True,
    ignore_longer_outputs_than_inputs=False,
    name=None
)

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.

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).

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.
