    This op computes the edit distances, also called Levenshtein distance, between a batch of
    hypothesis strings and their references. It measures how dissimilar two strings are by counting
    the minimum number of operations to transform one string into another.
    The operations include insertion, deletion, and substitution.

    For example, given hypothesis string A = "kitten" and reference
    B = "sitting", A will be transformed into B
    at least after two substitutions and one insertion:

    "kitten" -> "sitten" -> "sittin" -> "sitting"

    So the edit distance between A and B is 3.

    The input is a LoDTensor or Tensor.
    If it is a LoDTensor, The separation is specified by the LoD information.
    If it is a Tensor, The input_length and label_length should be supported.

    The `batch_size` of labels should be same as `input`.

    The output include the edit distance value between every pair of input and related label, and the number of sequence.
    If Attr(normalized) is true,
    the edit distance value will be divided by the length of label.

    Parameters:
        input(Variable): The input variable which is a tensor or LoDTensor, its rank should be equal to 2 and its data type should be int64.
        label(Variable): The label variable which is a tensor or LoDTensor, its rank should be equal to 2 and its data type should be int64.
        normalized(bool, default True): Indicated whether to normalize the edit distance.
        ignored_tokens(list<int>, default None): Tokens that will be removed before
                                     calculating edit distance.
        input_length(Variable): The length for each sequence in `input` if it's of Tensor type, it should have shape `(batch_size, )` and its data type should be int64.
        label_length(Variable): The length for each sequence in `label` if it's of Tensor type, it should have shape `(batch_size, )` and its data type should be int64.
        NOTE: To be avoid unexpected result, the value of every elements in input_length and label_length should be equal to the value of the second dimension of input and label. For example, The input: [[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8],[9,10,11,12]], the shape of input is [3,4] and the input_length should be [4,4,4]
        NOTE: This Api is different from fluid.metrics.EditDistance

    Returns:
	Tuple:

        distance(Variable): edit distance result, its data type is float32, and its shape is (batch_size, 1).
        sequence_num(Variable): sequence number, its data type is float32, and its shape is (1,).

    """
    An operator integrating the open source Warp-CTC library
    (https://github.com/baidu-research/warp-ctc)
    to compute Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) loss.
    It can be aliased as softmax with CTC, since a native softmax activation is
    interated to the Warp-CTC library to normlize values for each row of the
    input tensor.

    Args:
       input (Variable): The unscaled probabilities of variable-length sequences,
         which is a 2-D Tensor with LoD information, or a 3-D Tensor without Lod
         information. When it is a 2-D LodTensor, it's shape is 
         [Lp, num_classes + 1], where Lp is the sum of all input
         sequences' length and num_classes is the true number of classes.
         (not including the blank label). When it is a 3-D Tensor, it's shape 
         is [max_logit_length, batch_size, num_classes + 1],
         where max_logit_length is the length of the longest
         input logit sequence. The data type must be float32.
       label (Variable): The ground truth of variable-length sequence,
         which is a 2-D Tensor with LoD information or a 2-D Tensor without
         LoD information. When it is a 2-D LoDTensor or 2-D Tensor, 
         it is of the shape [Lg, 1], where Lg is th sum of all labels' length.
         The data type must be int32.
       blank (int, default 0): The blank label index of Connectionist
         Temporal Classification (CTC) loss, which is in the
         half-opened interval [0, num_classes + 1). The data type must be int32. 
       norm_by_times(bool, default false): Whether to normalize the gradients
         by the number of time-step, which is also the sequence's length.
         There is no need to normalize the gradients if warpctc layer was
         follewed by a mean_op.
       input_length(Variable): The length for each input sequence if it is 
         of Tensor type, it should have shape `[batch_size]` and dtype int64.
       label_length(Variable): The length for each label sequence if it is
         of Tensor type, it should have shape `[batch_size]` and dtype int64.

    Returns:
        Variable: The Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) loss,
        which is a 2-D Tensor with the shape [batch_size, 1].
        The date type is the same as input.

    """
    The hierarchical sigmoid organizes the classes into a complete binary tree to reduce the computational complexity
    and speed up the model training, especially the training of language model.
    Each leaf node of the complete binary tree represents a class(word) and each non-leaf node acts as a binary classifier.
    For each class(word), there's a unique path from root to itself, hsigmoid calculate the cost for each non-leaf node on
    the path, and sum them to get a total cost.
    Comparing to softmax, the OP can reduce the computational complexity from :math:`O(N)` to :math:`O(logN)`, where :math:`N`
    represents the number of classes or the size of word dict.

    The OP supports default tree and custom tree. For the default tree, you can refer to `Hierarchical Probabilistic Neural
    Network Language Model <http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~lisa/pointeurs/hierarchical-nnlm-aistats05.pdf>`. For the custom
    tree, you need to set :attr:`is_custom` to True, and do the following steps (take the language model as an example):

    1. Using a custom word dict to build a binary tree, each leaf node should be an word in the word dict.
    2. Creating a dict map word_id -> path that from the word to the root node, we call it path_table.
    3. Creating a dict map word_id -> code of path that from the word to the root node, we call it path_code.
       Code means the label of each binary classifier, 1 indicate true, 0 indicate false.
    4. Now, each word should has its path and code along the path, you can pass a batch of path and code related
       to the same batch of inputs.

    Parameters:
        input (Variable): A tensor with the shape [N, D], where N is the size of mini-batch,
            and D is the feature size. Its data type supports float32 and float64.
        label (Variable): A tensor contains the labels of training data. Its shape is [N, 1]
            and data type is int64.
        num_classes (int): The number of classes or the size of word dict, must be greater than 2.
            If the default tree is used (:attr:`is_custom` is set to False), :attr:`num_classes`
            should not be None. If the custom tree is used (:attr:`is_custom` is set to True),
            :attr:`num_classes` should be the number of non-leaf nodes, which indicates the num of
            classes using by the binary classifier.

    **Sampled Softmax With Cross Entropy Operator.**

    Cross entropy loss with sampled softmax is used as the output layer for 
    larger output classes extensively. This operator samples a number of samples
    for all examples, and computes the softmax normalized values for each 
    row of the sampled tensor, after which cross-entropy loss is computed. 

    Because this operator performs a softmax on logits internally, it expects
    unscaled logits. This operator should not be used with the output of
    softmax operator since that would produce incorrect results.
    
    For examples with T true labels (T >= 1), we assume that each true label has
    a probability of 1/T. For each sample, S samples are generated using a
    log uniform distribution. True labels are concatenated with these samples to
    form T + S samples for each example. So, assume the shape of logits is
    [N x K], the shape for samples is [N x (T+S)]. For each sampled label, a 
    probability is calculated, which corresponds to the Q(y|x) in 
    [Jean et al., 2014](http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.2007).
    
    Logits are sampled according to the sampled labels. Then if 
    remove_accidental_hits is True, if a sample[i, j] accidentally hits true 
    labels, then the corresponding sampled_logits[i, j] is minus by 1e20 to 
    make its softmax result close to zero. Then sampled logits are subtracted by
    logQ(y|x), these sampled logits and re-indexed labels are used to compute 
    a softmax with cross entropy.

    Args:
        logits (Variable): The unscaled log probabilities, which is a 2-D tensor
            with shape [N x K]. N is the batch_size, and K is the class number.
        label (Variable): The ground truth which is a 2-D tensor. Label is a 
            Tensor<int64> with shape [N x T], where T is the number of true 
            labels per example. 
        num_samples (int): The number for each example, num_samples should be 
            less than the number of class.
        num_true(int): The number of target classes per training example.
        remove_accidental_hits (bool): A flag indicating whether to remove 
            accidental hits when sampling. If True and if a sample[i, j] 
            accidentally hits true labels, then the corresponding 
            sampled_logits[i, j] is minus by 1e20 to make its softmax result 
            close to zero. Default is True.
        use_customized_samples (bool): Whether to use custom samples and probabities to sample
            logits.
        customized_samples (Variable): User defined samples, which is a 2-D tensor
            with shape [N, T + S]. S is the num_samples, and T is the number of true 
            labels per example. 
        customized_probabilities (Variable): User defined probabilities of samples, 
            a 2-D tensor which has the same shape with customized_samples.
        seed (int): The random seed for generating random number, which is used
            in the process of sampling. Default is 0.

    Returns:
        Variable: Return the cross entropy loss which is a 2-D tensor with shape
                  [N x 1].

    This operator implements the cross entropy loss function with softmax. This function 
    combines the calculation of the softmax operation and the cross entropy loss function 
    to provide a more numerically stable gradient.

    Because this operator performs a softmax on logits internally, it expects
    unscaled logits. This operator should not be used with the output of
    softmax operator since that would produce incorrect results.

    When the attribute :attr:`soft_label` is set :attr:`False`, this operators 
    expects mutually exclusive hard labels, each sample in a batch is in exactly 
    one class with a probability of 1.0. Each sample in the batch will have a 
    single label.

    The equation is as follows:

    1) Hard label (one-hot label, so every sample has exactly one class)

    .. math::

        loss_j =  -\\text{logits}_{label_j} +
        \\log\\left(\\sum_{i=0}^{K}\\exp(\\text{logits}_i)\\right), j = 1,..., K

    2) Soft label (each sample can have a distribution over all classes)

    .. math::

        loss_j =  -\\sum_{i=0}^{K}\\text{label}_i
        \\left(\\text{logits}_i - \\log\\left(\\sum_{i=0}^{K}
        \\exp(\\text{logits}_i)\\right)\\right), j = 1,...,K

    3) If :attr:`numeric_stable_mode` is :attr:`True`, softmax is calculated first by:

    .. math::

        max_j &= \\max_{i=0}^{K}{\\text{logits}_i}

        log\\_max\\_sum_j &= \\log\\sum_{i=0}^{K}\\exp(logits_i - max_j)

        softmax_j &= \\exp(logits_j - max_j - {log\\_max\\_sum}_j)

    and then cross entropy loss is calculated by softmax and label.

        logits (Variable): A multi-dimension ``Tensor`` , and the data type is float32 or float64. The input tensor of unscaled log probabilities.
        label (Variable): The ground truth  ``Tensor`` , data type is the same

            in the same shape with :attr:`logits` expect shape in dimension :attr:`axis` as 1.
        soft_label (bool, optional): A flag to indicate whether to interpretate the given
            labels as soft labels. Default False.

        numeric_stable_mode (bool, optional): A flag to indicate whether to use a more
                                              numerically stable algorithm. Only valid

    with size batch_size (batch_size >= 1), P = {0, 1} or {0, 0.5, 1}, 
    where 0.5 means that there is no information about the rank of the input pair.
    The following equation computes rank loss C_{i,j} from the inputs:

    .. math::
      C_{i,j} &= -\\tilde{P_{ij}} * o_{i,j} + \log(1 + e^{o_{i,j}}) \\\\
    .. math::
      o_{i,j} &=  o_i - o_j  \\\\
    .. math::
      \\tilde{P_{i,j}} &= \\left \{0, 0.5, 1 \\right \} \ or \ \\left \{0, 1 \\right \}

    Parameters:
        label (Variable): 2-D ``Tensor`` with the shape of :math:`[batch,1]`, the data type is float32, batch indicates the size of the data. Indicats whether A ranked higher than B or not.
        left (Variable): 2-D ``Tensor`` with the shape of :math:`[batch,1]`, the data type is float32. RankNet's output score for doc A.
        right (Variable): 2-D ``Tensor`` with the shape of :math:`[batch,1]`, the data type is float32. RankNet's output score for doc B.
        name(str|None): The default value is None. Normally there is no need for user to set this property. For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name` .

    Returns:
        Variable: ``Tensor`` indicating the output value of the sort loss layer, the data type is float32, and the return value's shape is :math:`[batch,1]` .
