Description

There is the following issue on this page: https://docs.pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/char_rnn_classification_tutorial.html

I think that comment "#Cache the tensor representation of the labels" is a little confusing, especially for those who are just learning PyTorch, because you are just creating numerical representation of unique labels in alphabetical order, while calculating tensor representation of each label on every iteration of data.

Research direction

Open the linked char_rnn_classification_tutorial.html page and locate the comment "Cache the tensor representation of the labels." Read the surrounding label-processing code, then revise the comment so it distinguishes the cached numeric label mapping from the per-example tensor conversion. Done means the comment accurately describes the behavior and is clearer for PyTorch learners.
