jmacglashan edited a comment on issue #14619: [Discussion] 1.5.0 Roadmap URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/14619#issuecomment-485141044 Easily the biggest feature Mxnet is lacking is the higher order gradient support. There appears to be some work to get this going, but it's been a bit stagnant. The lack of strong support for this feature prohibits the ability to implement a number of DL algorithms. Everything beyond this seems like quality of life features. I would offer to help on this front, but I won't have the time necessary to work it out. I list it here in hopes that others will answer the call. Beyond that, I think having dynamic shape in symbols would be a nice feature. On a smaller scale, I think it would be nice if Gluon had support for blocks that operate on keyword arguments. It's pretty easy to add support for that in a non-breaking way (and I've done it in my own projects), but ideally this feature would be supported in other code like the data loader, which currently is fairly structure around assuming tuples rather than dicts (which would pair with keyword args). A nitpick that I have is that when it comes to serialization, Mxnet (python) seems to assume you always want to write to a file in that it requests a path to a file to serialize the data. This often isn't appropriate in production systems. It would be much nicer if Mxnet simply took a file-like object or just returned bytes so you can do what you want with it.
