Question about tutorial 1 and 2 Decoder

[djaekim]

Hello, I had a question about prediction = self.fc_out(output)

In the decoder in tutorial 2, why is the output = torch.cat((embedded.squeeze(0), hidden.squeeze(0), context.squeeze(0)), dim = 1) as opposed to output = torch.cat((embedded.squeeze(0), output.squeeze(0), context.squeeze(0)), dim = 1)?

In tutorial 2 text, it says

Thank you!

When we have a sequence length of one, which we do when decoding, then output == hidden, as output is the hidden state from all time-steps, and the hidden is the hidden state from the final time-step, so if we have just a single time-step then the two are identical. So both of the code snippets in your question do the exact same thing.
