How to use NLAEC_MODE and can it be used for noise cancelation?

I imagine that this is to feed some audio into the respeaker that will later be used for echo/noise cancelation, but when I run tuning.py NLAEC_MODE 1 is just hangs and nothing else happens.

so the question is how to use this training mode?
and
can this be used for noise cancelation?

I am aware of all the other settings for the noise cancellation and tried them all, but didn’t see any noticeable results so resorting to trying this training mode to see what would be the results.
