What is eval_step in Experiment Tensorflow

I do wonder what is the parameter 'eval_steps' in learn.experiment in tensorflow ? Why would you run over the evaluation set several times every time you want to evaluate your model ?

Thanks!

If your evaluation is a whole epoch, you're right that it doesn't make much sense. eval_steps is more for the case when you're doing mini-batch evaluation and want to evaluate on multiple mini-batches.
