       Returns a list of lists of int, containing the token sequences we
       decoded. For `ans[i]`, its length equals to the number of frames
       after subsampling of the i-th utterance in the batch.

+    Example:
+      When `kind` is `labels`, one possible alignment example is (with
+      repeats)::
+
+        c c c blk a a blk blk t t t blk blk
+
+     If `kind` is `aux_labels`, the above example changes to::
