         axis over which to compute the dot product. Must be an integer on the interval ``[-N, N)``, where ``N`` is the rank (number of dimensions) of the shape determined according to :ref:`broadcasting`. If specified as a negative integer, the function must determine the axis along which to compute the dot product by counting backward from the last dimension (where ``-1`` refers to the last dimension). By default, the function must compute the dot product over the last axis. Default: ``-1``.
