        Numeration:
            Characters 0 to C-1 are true characters
            Character C is the blank character
        Inputs:
            l : L x B : the sequence labelling
            probs : T x B x C+1 : the probabilities output by the RNN
            l_len : B : the length of each labelling sequence
            probs_mask : T x B
        Output: the B probabilities of the labelling sequences
        Steps:
            - Calculate y' the labelling sequence with blanks
            - Calculate the recurrence relationship for the alphas
            - Calculate the sequence of the alphas
