    AddComment(R"DOC(
Conditional Random Field defines an undirected probabilistic graph with nodes
denoting random variables and edges denoting dependencies between these
variables. CRF learns the conditional probability $P(Y|X)$, where
$X = (x_1, x_2, ... , x_n)$ are structured inputs and
$Y = (y_1, y_2, ... , y_n)$ are labels for the inputs.

Linear chain CRF is a special case of CRF that is useful for sequence labeling
task. Sequence labeling tasks do not assume a lot of conditional
independences among inputs. The only constraint they impose is that the input
and output must be linear sequences. Thus, the graph of such a CRF is a simple
chain or a line, which results in the linear chain CRF.

This operator implements the Forward-Backward algorithm for the linear chain
CRF. Please refer to http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~mcollins/fb.pdf and
http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~elkan/250Bwinter2012/loglinearCRFs.pdf for details.

Equation:

1. Denote Input(Emission) to this operator as $x$ here.
2. The first D values of Input(Transition) to this operator are for starting
weights, denoted as $a$ here.
3. The next D values of Input(Transition) of this operator are for ending
weights, denoted as $b$ here.
4. The remaning values of Input(Transition) are for transition weights,
denoted as $w$ here.
5. Denote Input(Label) as $s$ here.

The probability of a sequence $s$ of length $L$ is defined as:
$$P(s) = (1/Z) \exp(a_{s_1} + b_{s_L}
                + \sum_{l=1}^L x_{s_l}
                + \sum_{l=2}^L w_{s_{l-1},s_l})$$

where $Z$ is a normalization value so that the sum of $P(s)$ over
all possible sequences is 1, and $x$ is the emission feature weight
to the linear chain CRF.

Finally, the linear chain CRF operator outputs the logarithm of the conditional
likelihood of each training sample in a mini-batch.

NOTE:

1. The feature function for a CRF is made up of the emission features and the
transition features. The emission feature weights are NOT computed in
this operator. They MUST be computed first before this operator is called.

2. Because this operator performs global normalization over all possible
sequences internally, it expects UNSCALED emission feature weights.
Please do not call this op with the emission feature being output of any
nonlinear activation.

3. The 2nd dimension of Input(Emission) MUST be equal to the tag number.
