 **Category**: Comparison binary operation

+**Short description**: *LessEqual* performs element-wise comparison operation with two given tensors applying broadcast rules specified in the *auto_broadcast* attribute.

+**Detailed description**
+Before performing arithmetic operation, input tensors *a* and *b* are broadcasted if their shapes are different and `auto_broadcast` attributes is not `none`. Broadcasting is performed according to `auto_broadcast` value.
