Re: MXNet Community Monthly Updates

Other channels that might be beneficial for it to be published would be:

- Twitter https://twitter.com/apachemxnet
- MXNet forum https://discuss.mxnet.io/
- MXNet Medium https://medium.com/apache-mxnet

maybe even somewhere more general like Reddit Machine Learning
https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/ ?

Hi Stanislas,

Did you consider nd/symbol.contrib.cond for conditional statement?

"If" function in MXNET and sharing parameters

2019-03-08 Thread Lauly, Stanislas 
Hi,

About MXNET module, I need to create a model that use a different input matrix 
depending on the actual input, is there a kind of “if” that can be part of the 
computational graph? If not, I can always create multiple models that share 
some params between them, but doing so does not sound trivial. I found this:

https://discuss.mxnet.io/t/sharing-parameters-between-two-modules-through-arg-dict/1046

But it looks like it is not very efficient. Is there a better way to share 
parameters between models?

This is great. It will help drive traffic to the site, create content for
the site, and increase engagement. MailChimp is pretty good too. I can help
set that up. I have one tiny nagging question though... I don't recall
doing any GDPR compliance stuff on the site, so I'm wondering what kind of
EULA or popup thing we might need for the cookies and emails that come
along with this feature. Did anyone get blessed with this task recently and
know what needs to be done?

I strongly support this as well - Let us know when the wiki draft page is
ready. The Clojure MXNet contributors have some cool stuff to share :)
