    AddComment(R"DOC(
An operator integrating the open-source
[warp-ctc](https://github.com/baidu-research/warp-ctc) library, which is used in
[Deep Speech 2: End-toEnd Speech Recognition in English and Mandarin](
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1512.02595v1.pdf),
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 to normlize values for each row of the
input tensor.

More detail of CTC loss can be found by refering to
[Connectionist Temporal Classification: Labelling Unsegmented Sequence Data with
Recurrent Neural Networks](
http://machinelearning.wustl.edu/mlpapers/paper_files/icml2006_GravesFGS06.pdf).
