We report an extension of a Keras Model, called CTCModel, to perform the Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) in a transparent way. Combined with Recurrent Neural Networks, the Connectionist Temporal Classification is the reference method for dealing with unsegmented input sequences, i.e. with data that are a couple of observation and label sequences where each label is related to a subset of observation frames. CTCModel makes use of the CTC implementation in the Tensorflow backend for training and predicting sequences of labels using Keras. It consists of three branches made of Keras models: one for training, computing the CTC loss function; one for predicting, providing sequences of labels; and one for evaluating that returns standard metrics for analyzing sequences of predictions.
