TransformerEncoderLayer about lite-transformer HOT 4 OPEN

hell，in the file of transformer-multibranch-v2，the class of TransformerEncoderLayer--the code are as follow：
if args.encoder_branch_type is None:#default=None？？？？
self.self_attn = MultiheadAttention(
self.embed_dim, args.encoder_attention_heads,
dropout=args.attention_dropout, self_attention=True,
)
else:
layers = []
embed_dims = []
heads = []
num_types = len(args.

I just wonder that do the args.encoder_branch_type equalstrue？？？

Hi, args.encoder_branch_type is a list containing the encoder branch type defined in your training yml file.
In my case, I set the encoder_branch_type in the training yml as encoder-branch-type: [attn:1:32:4, dynamic:default:32:4], where 32 represents the embedding dimension, and 4 stands for the attention head numbers.
Hope this helps!

thx，what'S the meaning of [attn:1:32:4, dynamic:default:32:4]？could you show some details about the list

As I mentioned in my last reply, args.encoder_branch_type should not be a boolean value, instead it should be a list recording the branch type of your encoder. As for 32 and 4, they represent params embed_dim and num_head when initializing MultiheadAttention and DynamicconvLayer modules.

encoder-branch-type: [attn:1:248:4, dynamic:default:248:4]

You can find more details on these two params at the get_layer method in TransformerEncoderLayer module.

thx a lot！！！
one more，as shown below，

for layer_type in args.encoder_branch_type:
embed_dims.append(int(layer_type.split(':')[2]))
heads.append(int(layer_type.split(':')[3]))
layers.append(self.get_layer(args, index, embed_dims[-1], heads[-1], layer_type))
self.self_attn = MultiBranch(layers, embed_dims)

the above code appear in the encoderlayer class，as you said，args.encoder_branch_type ==[attn:1:160:4, lightweight:default:160:4]，but it lead to some errors，how to comprehend it？？？？
