Description
Hello, what's the use of 'weight' parameter (column name) in TimeSeriesDataset?
(I see that we can use the WeightedRandomSampler while creating DataLoader.)
So how doest the weight parameter works?
In source code I only see that data from that columns is copied into __weight__ column, but what's use of that?
Thank you.
