-SampleEncode has two sampling parameters, `nbest_size` and `alpha`, which correspond to `l` and `alpha` in the [original paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.10959). When `nbest_size` is -1, one segmentation is sampled from all hypothesis with forward-filtering and backward sampling algorithm.

 ## Training
 Calls `SentencePieceTrainer::Train` function to train sentencepiece model. You can pass the same parameters of [spm_train](https://github.com/google/sentencepiece#train-sentencepiece-model) as a single string.
