Any plans to lower CTC loss soon ?

[ASDen]

Hello,

I was eager to experiment with TPUs but was facing issues with CTC loss not lowered yet, so is this in your agenda soon?
CTC is used very widely in OCR / ASR / many related sequence transduction problems.

also TF has a TPU implementation of CTC, so it shouldn't much hassle!

Thanks!

@ASDen Thanks for reporting! We usually lower the op as user request so we will try to look at soon. It is a small team here so our bandwidth is limited, we will update this thread when we have more info.

I would also love to have this op lowered.

+1 for having the CTC_loss op lowered.

+1 this will help ASR/OCR research in future

Sorry for the late response. We currently don't have the resource to implement this lowering given it is a bit more complicated comparing to other ops. We will prioritize this op given many user request and update here when we have a more concrete plan.
