tf.keras.backend.ctc_decode
Decodes the output of a softmax.
tf.keras.backend.ctc_decode(
    y_pred, input_length, greedy=True, beam_width=100, top_paths=1
)
  Can use either greedy search (also known as best path) or a constrained dictionary search.
| Arguments | |
|---|---|
y_pred | 
      tensor (samples, time_steps, num_categories) containing the prediction, or output of the softmax. | 
     
input_length | 
      tensor (samples, ) containing the sequence length for each batch item in y_pred. | 
     
greedy | 
      perform much faster best-path search if true. This does not use a dictionary. | 
     
beam_width | 
      if greedy is false: a beam search decoder will be used with a beam of this width. | 
     
top_paths | 
      if greedy is false, how many of the most probable paths will be returned. | 
     
| Returns | |
|---|---|
Tuple | 
      List: if greedy is true, returns a list of one element that contains the decoded sequence. If false, returns the top_paths most probable decoded sequences. Each decoded sequence has shape (samples, time_steps). Important: blank labels are returned as -1. Tensor (top_paths, ) that contains the log probability of each decoded sequence. |
