    Reduce learning rate when ``loss`` has stopped descending. Models often benefit from reducing the learning rate
    by 2 to 10 times once model performance has no longer improvement.

    The ``loss`` is the one which has been pass into ``step`` , it must be 1-D Tensor with shape [1]. When ``loss``
    stop descending for a ``patience`` number of epochs, the learning rate will be reduced to ``learning_rate * decay_rate`` .
    (Specially, ``mode`` can also be set to ``'max`` , in this case, when ``loss`` stop ascending for a ``patience`` number
    of epochs, the learning rate will be reduced.)

    In addition, After each reduction, it will wait a ``cooldown`` number of epochs before resuming normal operation.

    Args:
        learning_rate (Variable|float|int): The initial learning rate. It can be set to python float or int number.
            If the type is Variable, it should be 1-D Tensor with shape [1], the data type can be 'float32' or 'float64'.
        mode (str, optional): ``'min'`` or ``'max'`` can be selected. Normally, it is ``'min'`` , which means that the
            learning rate will reduce when ``loss`` stops descending. Specially, if it's set to ``'max'`` ,  the learning
            rate will reduce when ``loss`` stops ascending. Default: ``'min'`` .
        decay_rate (float, optional): The Ratio that the learning rate will be reduced. ``new_lr = origin_lr * decay_rate`` .
            It should be less than 1.0. Default: 0.1.
        patience (int, optional): When ``loss`` doesn't improve for this number of epochs, learing rate will be reduced.
            Default: 10.
        verbose (bool, optional): If ``True``, prints a message to stdout for each update. Default: ``False``.
        threshold (float, optional): ``threshold`` and ``threshold_mode`` will determine the minimum change of ``loss`` .
            This make tiny changes of ``loss`` will be ignored. Default: 1e-4.
        threshold_mode (str, optional): ``'rel'`` or ``'abs'`` can be selected. In ``'rel'`` mode, the minimum change of ``loss``
            is ``last_loss * threshold`` , where ``last_loss`` is ``loss`` in last epoch. In ``'abs'`` mode, the minimum
            change of ``loss`` is ``threshold`` . Default: ``'rel'`` .
        cooldown (int, optional): The number of epochs to wait before resuming normal operation. Default: 0.
        min_lr (float, optional): The lower bound of the learning rate after reduction. Default: 0.
        eps (float, optional): Minimal decay applied to lr. If the difference between new and old lr is smaller than eps, the update is
