Hi,
I have been using PyTorch for a while now and one of the things I find attractive is that I can “bypass” few layers by not forward passing through it all. My understanding was that by not including them in the forward pass they would automatically be dropped off from the network and wouldn’t be backpropped through. Is that true? But why do these layers still show when I do print(str(model))? i.e layers initialised in the init call are still present?
Thank you!
