what is the meaning of "self.base_model = base_model" in encoders.py ?

Hi, it seems that the code "self.base_model = base_model" is ineffective, since self.base_model is not used in encoders.py.

However, when I remove the statement, the result changes a lot.
So, what is the meaning of the statement in encoders.py?

try "print(model)", the computing graph is incomplete without "self.base_model".
