tf.nn.ctc_beam_search_decoder

Performs beam search decoding on the logits given in input.

Note: The ctc_greedy_decoder is a special case of the ctc_beam_search_decoder with top_paths=1 and beam_width=1 (but that decoder is faster for this special case).
Args
inputs 3-D float Tensor, size [max_time, batch_size, num_classes]. The logits.
sequence_length 1-D int32 vector containing sequence lengths, having size [batch_size].
beam_width An int scalar >= 0 (beam search beam width).
top_paths An int scalar >= 0, <= beam_width (controls output size).
Returns
A tuple (decoded, log_probabilities) where
decoded A list of length top_paths, where decoded[j] is a SparseTensor containing the decoded outputs:

decoded[j].indices: Indices matrix [total_decoded_outputs[j], 2]; The rows store: [batch, time].

decoded[j].values: Values vector, size [total_decoded_outputs[j]]. The vector stores the decoded classes for beam j.

decoded[j].dense_shape: Shape vector, size (2). The shape values are: [batch_size, max_decoded_length[j]].

log_probability A float matrix [batch_size, top_paths] containing sequence log-probabilities.
