+
+    This function takes in an input that contains the complete lod information,
+    and takes in a mask which is used to mask certain parts of the input.
+    The output is the true branch and the false branch with the mask applied to
+    the input at a certain level in the tensor.
+
+    Args:
+        input(tuple|list|None): The input tensor that contains complete

+        mask(list): A bool column vector which masks the input.
+        level(int): The specific lod level to rank.
+
+    Returns:
+        Variable: The true branch of tensor as per the mask applied to input.
+        Variable: The false branch of tensor as per the mask applied to input.
