leezu opened a new issue #7306: Gluon / Autograd is_train documentation
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/7306
 
 
   As far as I understand `AutogradRuntime::Get()->IsTraining()` is used 
throughout the [NDArray 
API](https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/dad83816511ec04157d2743ee1f220e74a6b0c27/src/c_api/c_api_ndarray.cc)
 to determine how to set the `OpContext` argument to the functions.
   
   `with autograd.record()`sets the training attribute of AutogradRuntime to 
True and resets it when leaving the block.
   
   Is this correct? This should be documented. The current Gluon documentation 
does not state anything about how `OpContext.is_train` is determined, even 
though this is very relevant to the BatchNorm and Dropout operators. If you 
confirm my understanding I can add a short note to the Gluon Tutorial. If a 
documentation page for autograd is added it would make sense to also mention it 
there.
