> We are looking for a robust solution for MXNet Java developers to use especially owned and maintained by the Apache MXNet's community. I will be more than happy to see if you would like to contribute the source code that generate MXNet JavaCpp package to this repo. So we can own the maintainance and responsible for the end users that the package is reliable. > > At the beginning, we were discussing several ways that we can try to preserve a low level Java API for MXNet that anyone who use Java can start with. Most of the problems were lying under the ownership and maintainance part. I have placed JavaCpp option to option 5 so we can see which one works the best in the end. Sounds good, thanks! If you have any specific concerns about the above, please let me know. JNA seems to be maintained by a single person with apparently no connections to the AI industry (https://dzone.com/articles/scratch-netbeans-itch-matthias) whereas I have to maintain anyway as part of my work APIs mainly for OpenCV, FFmpeg, ONNX Runtime, and TensorFlow at the moment, but others as well and it tends to vary with time, MXNet could become part of those eventually, and I have users paying for commercial support of proprietary libraries too, so I think JavaCPP is the better option here, but I'm obviously biased. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
