Question about code #76

Open Lucky-Lance opened 8 months ago

Hi, I have a question about the code. The code here includes a view operation, but view is not an in-place operation in pytorch. An example is shown below, where I use 1.13.1+cu117.

I am confused. Would you please explain the utility of the view operation here? I think this line is unnecessary.
