 This branch is dedicated for the integration of the generic seq-to-seq decoder into RASR master (https://github.com/rwth-i6/rasr/pull/45).
 The decoder is developed by Wei Zhou during his PhD study before RASR github version was created.
-For simplicity, the complete decoder is adapted and rebased onto the master branch in one shot for 
-various testings using differernt seq-to-seq models, LMs, label units/topologies, NN architectures
