The parts of y_batch which are padding are filled with the number 'V'. V = the number of tokens in the vocabulary + 1 for the blank token. T_batch: tensor of shape (B, 1) - contains the durations of the log_probs_batch (so we can ignore the parts of log_probs_batch which are padding) U_batch: tensor of shape (B, 1) - contains the lengths of y_batch (so we can ignore the parts of y_batch which are padding). viterbi_device: the torch device on which Viterbi decoding will be done. Returns: alignments_batch: list of lists containing locations for the tokens we align to at each timestep. Looks like: [[0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, ..., ], ..., [0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, ....]].
