The question about shape (TxBxC)

pvlinh143bk opened this issue · comments

Hi Mr.Scheidl,
I have just came into your README and I have a question. In "A First Example" section, you have mentioned about feed matrix have to be shape (TxBxC). What is the meaning of term B?
In almost articles I read about Word Beam Search, the term B refers to Beam Width, but in your Readme, I think it's not Beam Width.
Could you explain it for me? Thank you very much.

T=sequence length
B=batch size
C=number of characters (including CTC blank)

I always used BW for beam width (both in code and the paper).
