C4_W2_Assignment UNQ_C5: How to use the "mode" parameter

Course Q&A Natural Language Processing NLP with Attention Models
1

In UNQ_C5, CausalAttention is defined as:
def CausalAttention(d_feature,
n_heads,
compute_attention_heads_closure=compute_attention_heads_closure,
dot_product_self_attention=dot_product_self_attention,
compute_attention_output_closure=compute_attention_output_closure,
mode=‘train’):
I cannot see where the “mode” parameter is used. But all tests still pass.

Hello @larryleguo!

You are totally sure. Actually, this parameter is not obligatory and can be not used. It exists only to make the function generic if anyone want to use it.

Thank you for the advice!
