What does "LR_STEP_SIZE" use for?

[mdyao]

Hi,

I'm doubting that in VDSR.py #113, if the args staircase=True,the exp_decay won't work forever.

The exp_decay can be calculated as: decay_learning_rate = learning_rate * decay_rate ^ (global_step / decay_steps)

But in code "VDSR.py line#113", the global_step is calculated as global_step*BATCH_SIZE, decay_steps is calculate aslen(train_list)*LR_STEP_SIZE

Why decay_steps not to be len(train_list).Why should it multiply LR_STEP_SIZE??

Look forward to your kind reply.

I have the same problem too. Have you understood it well? Would you mind tell me your idea to me ? Thank you very much!
