Added enhancements to the
Gluonpackage, a high-level interface designed to be easy to use while keeping most of the flexibility of low level API. Gluon supports both imperative and symbolic programming, making it easy to train complex models imperatively with minimal impact on performance. Neural networks (and other machine learning models) can be defined and trained withgluon.nnandgluon.rnnpackages.Added new loss functions -SigmoidBinaryCrossEntropyLoss,CTCLoss,HuberLoss,HingeLoss,SquaredHingeLoss,LogisticLoss,TripletLoss.gluon.Trainernow allows reading and setting learning rate withtrainer.learning_rateproperty.Added API
HybridBlock.exportfor exporting gluon models to MXNet format.Added
ConvLSTMto Convolutional recurrent networks for RNN, LSTM, and GRU.Added VariationalDropoutgluon.contrib.
New Features - Autograd
Added enhancements to
autogradpackage, which enables automatic differentiation of NDArray operations.autograd.Functionallows defining both forward and backward computation for custom operators. See documentation for examples.Added
mx.autograd.gradand experimental second order gradient support (most operators don't support second order gradient yet).Autograd now supports cross-device graphs. Use
x.copyto(mx.gpu(i))andx.copyto(mx.cpu())to do computation on multiple devices.
