class_docstr: Conditional random field.
  This module implements a conditional random field [LMP01]_. The forward computation
  of this class computes the log likelihood of the given sequence of tags and
  emission score tensor. This class also has `~CRF.decode` method which finds
  the best tag sequence given an emission score tensor using `Viterbi algorithm`_.
  Args:
      num_tags: Number of tags.
      batch_first: Whether the first dimension corresponds to the size of a minibatch.
  Attributes:
      start_transitions (`~torch.nn.Parameter`): Start transition score tensor of size
          ``(num_tags,)``.
      end_transitions (`~torch.nn.Parameter`): End transition score tensor of size
          ``(num_tags,)``.
      transitions (`~torch.nn.Parameter`): Transition score tensor of size
          ``(num_tags, num_tags)``.
