  1. abstract def Activation(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Applies an activation function element-wise to the input.
    
    The following activation functions are supported:
    
    - `relu`: Rectified Linear Unit, :math:`y = max(x, 0)`
    - `sigmoid`: :math:`y = \frac{1}{1 + exp(-x)}`
    - `tanh`: Hyperbolic tangent, :math:`y = \frac{exp(x) - exp(-x)}{exp(x) + exp(-x)}`
    - `softrelu`: Soft ReLU, or SoftPlus, :math:`y = log(1 + exp(x))`
    - `softsign`: :math:`y = \frac{x}{1 + abs(x)}`

  2. abstract def BatchNorm(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Batch normalization.
    
    Normalizes a data batch by mean and variance, and applies a scale ``gamma`` as
    well as offset ``beta``.
    
    Assume the input has more than one dimension and we normalize along axis 1.
    We first compute the mean and variance along this axis:
    
    .. math::
    
      data\_mean[i] = mean(data[:,i,:,...]) \\
      data\_var[i] = var(data[:,i,:,...])
    
    Then compute the normalized output, which has the same shape as input, as following:
    
    .. math::
    
      out[:,i,:,...] = \frac{data[:,i,:,...] - data\_mean[i]}{\sqrt{data\_var[i]+\epsilon}} * gamma[i] + beta[i]
    
    Both *mean* and *var* returns a scalar by treating the input as a vector.
    
    Assume the input has size *k* on axis 1, then both ``gamma`` and ``beta``
    have shape *(k,)*. If ``output_mean_var`` is set to be true, then outputs both ``data_mean`` and
    the inverse of ``data_var``, which are needed for the backward pass. Note that gradient of these
    two outputs are blocked.
    
    Besides the inputs and the outputs, this operator accepts two auxiliary
    states, ``moving_mean`` and ``moving_var``, which are *k*-length
    vectors. They are global statistics for the whole dataset, which are updated
    by::
    
      moving_mean = moving_mean * momentum + data_mean * (1 - momentum)
      moving_var = moving_var * momentum + data_var * (1 - momentum)
    
    If ``use_global_stats`` is set to be true, then ``moving_mean`` and
    ``moving_var`` are used instead of ``data_mean`` and ``data_var`` to compute
    the output. It is often used during inference.
    
    The parameter ``axis`` specifies which axis of the input shape denotes
    the 'channel' (separately normalized groups).  The default is 1.  Specifying -1 sets the channel
    axis to be the last item in the input shape.
    
    Both ``gamma`` and ``beta`` are learnable parameters. But if ``fix_gamma`` is true,
    then set ``gamma`` to 1 and its gradient to 0.
    
    .. Note::
      When ``fix_gamma`` is set to True, no sparse support is provided. If ``fix_gamma is`` set to False,
      the sparse tensors will fallback.

    Batch normalization.
    
    This operator is DEPRECATED. Perform BatchNorm on the input.
    
    Normalizes a data batch by mean and variance, and applies a scale ``gamma`` as
    well as offset ``beta``.
    
    Assume the input has more than one dimension and we normalize along axis 1.
    We first compute the mean and variance along this axis:
    
    .. math::
    
      data\_mean[i] = mean(data[:,i,:,...]) \\
      data\_var[i] = var(data[:,i,:,...])
    
    Then compute the normalized output, which has the same shape as input, as following:
    
    .. math::
    
      out[:,i,:,...] = \frac{data[:,i,:,...] - data\_mean[i]}{\sqrt{data\_var[i]+\epsilon}} * gamma[i] + beta[i]
    
    Both *mean* and *var* returns a scalar by treating the input as a vector.
    
    Assume the input has size *k* on axis 1, then both ``gamma`` and ``beta``
    have shape *(k,)*. If ``output_mean_var`` is set to be true, then outputs both ``data_mean`` and
    ``data_var`` as well, which are needed for the backward pass.

    states, ``moving_mean`` and ``moving_var``, which are *k*-length
    vectors. They are global statistics for the whole dataset, which are updated
    by::
    
      moving_mean = moving_mean * momentum + data_mean * (1 - momentum)
      moving_var = moving_var * momentum + data_var * (1 - momentum)
    
    If ``use_global_stats`` is set to be true, then ``moving_mean`` and
    ``moving_var`` are used instead of ``data_mean`` and ``data_var`` to compute
    the output. It is often used during inference.
    
    Both ``gamma`` and ``beta`` are learnable parameters. But if ``fix_gamma`` is true,
    then set ``gamma`` to 1 and its gradient to 0.
    
    There's no sparse support for this operator, and it will exhibit problematic behavior if used with
    sparse tensors.

  4. abstract def BilinearSampler(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Applies bilinear sampling to input feature map.
    
    Bilinear Sampling is the key of  [NIPS2015] \"Spatial Transformer Networks\". The usage of the operator is very similar to remap function in OpenCV,
    except that the operator has the backward pass.
    
    Given :math:`data` and :math:`grid`, then the output is computed by
    
    .. math::
      x_{src} = grid[batch, 0, y_{dst}, x_{dst}] \\
      y_{src} = grid[batch, 1, y_{dst}, x_{dst}] \\
      output[batch, channel, y_{dst}, x_{dst}] = G(data[batch, channel, y_{src}, x_{src})
    
    :math:`x_{dst}`, :math:`y_{dst}` enumerate all spatial locations in :math:`output`, and :math:`G()` denotes the bilinear interpolation kernel.
    The out-boundary points will be padded with zeros.The shape of the output will be (data.shape[0], data.shape[1], grid.shape[2], grid.shape[3]).
    
    The operator assumes that :math:`data` has 'NCHW' layout and :math:`grid` has been normalized to [-1, 1].
    
    BilinearSampler often cooperates with GridGenerator which generates sampling grids for BilinearSampler.
    GridGenerator supports two kinds of transformation: ``affine`` and ``warp``.
    If users want to design a CustomOp to manipulate :math:`grid`, please firstly refer to the code of GridGenerator.
    
    Example 1::
    
      ## Zoom out data two times
      data = array(`[ [`[ [1, 4, 3, 6],
                      [1, 8, 8, 9],
                      [0, 4, 1, 5],
                      [1, 0, 1, 3] ] ] ])
    
      affine_matrix = array(`[ [2, 0, 0],
                             [0, 2, 0] ])
    
      affine_matrix = reshape(affine_matrix, shape=(1, 6))
    
      grid = GridGenerator(data=affine_matrix, transform_type='affine', target_shape=(4, 4))
    
      out = BilinearSampler(data, grid)
    
      out
      `[ [`[ [ 0,   0,     0,   0],
         [ 0,   3.5,   6.5, 0],
         [ 0,   1.25,  2.5, 0],
         [ 0,   0,     0,   0] ] ]

      ## shift data horizontally by -1 pixel
    
      data = array(`[ [`[ [1, 4, 3, 6],
                      [1, 8, 8, 9],

                      [1, 0, 1, 3] ] ] ])
    
      warp_maxtrix = array(`[ [`[ [1, 1, 1, 1],

                              [0, 0, 0, 0] ] ] ])

      out = BilinearSampler(data, grid)

  5. abstract def BlockGrad(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Stops gradient computation.
    
    Stops the accumulated gradient of the inputs from flowing through this operator
    in the backward direction. In other words, this operator prevents the contribution
    of its inputs to be taken into account for computing gradients.
    
    Example::
    
      v1 = [1, 2]
      v2 = [0, 1]
      a = Variable('a')
      b = Variable('b')

  6. abstract def CTCLoss(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Connectionist Temporal Classification Loss.
    
    .. note:: The existing alias ``contrib_CTCLoss`` is deprecated.
    
    The shapes of the inputs and outputs:
    
    - **data**: `(sequence_length, batch_size, alphabet_size)`
    - **label**: `(batch_size, label_sequence_length)`
    - **out**: `(batch_size)`
    
    The `data` tensor consists of sequences of activation vectors (without applying softmax),
    with i-th channel in the last dimension corresponding to i-th label
    for i between 0 and alphabet_size-1 (i.e always 0-indexed).
    Alphabet size should include one additional value reserved for blank label.
    When `blank_label` is ``"first"``, the ``0``-th channel is be reserved for
    activation of blank label, or otherwise if it is "last", ``(alphabet_size-1)``-th channel should be
    reserved for blank label.
    
    ``label`` is an index matrix of integers. When `blank_label` is ``"first"``,
    the value 0 is then reserved for blank label, and should not be passed in this matrix. Otherwise,
    when `blank_label` is ``"last"``, the value `(alphabet_size-1)` is reserved for blank label.
    
    If a sequence of labels is shorter than *label_sequence_length*, use the special
    padding value at the end of the sequence to conform it to the correct
    length. The padding value is `0` when `blank_label` is ``"first"``, and `-1` otherwise.
    
    For example, suppose the vocabulary is `[a, b, c]`, and in one batch we have three sequences
    'ba', 'cbb', and 'abac'. When `blank_label` is ``"first"``, we can index the labels as
    `{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}`, and we reserve the 0-th channel for blank label in data tensor.
    The resulting `label` tensor should be padded to be::
    
      `[ [2, 1, 0, 0], [3, 2, 2, 0], [1, 2, 1, 3] ]
    
    When `blank_label` is ``"last"``, we can index the labels as
    `{'a': 0, 'b': 1, 'c': 2}`, and we reserve the channel index 3 for blank label in data tensor.
    The resulting `label` tensor should be padded to be::
    
      `[ [1, 0, -1, -1], [2, 1, 1, -1], [0, 1, 0, 2] ]
    
    ``out`` is a list of CTC loss values, one per example in the batch.

  8. abstract def Concat(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Joins input arrays along a given axis.
    
    .. note:: `Concat` is deprecated. Use `concat` instead.
    
    The dimensions of the input arrays should be the same except the axis along
    which they will be concatenated.
    The dimension of the output array along the concatenated axis will be equal
    to the sum of the corresponding dimensions of the input arrays.
    
    The storage type of ``concat`` output depends on storage types of inputs
    
    - concat(csr, csr, ..., csr, dim=0) = csr
    - otherwise, ``concat`` generates output with default storage
    
    Example::
    
       x = `[ [1,1],[2,2] ]
       y = `[ [3,3],[4,4],[5,5] ]
       z = `[ [6,6], [7,7],[8,8] ]
    
       concat(x,y,z,dim=0) = `[ [ 1.,  1.],
                              [ 2.,  2.],
                              [ 3.,  3.],

                              [ 8.,  8.] ]
    
       Note that you cannot concat x,y,z along dimension 1 since dimension
       0 is not the same for all the input arrays.
    
       concat(y,z,dim=1) = `[ [ 3.,  3.,  6.,  6.],

  9. abstract def Convolution(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Compute *N*-D convolution on *(N+2)*-D input.
    
    In the 2-D convolution, given input data with shape *(batch_size,
    channel, height, width)*, the output is computed by
    
    .. math::
    
       out[n,i,:,:] = bias[i] + \sum_{j=0}^{channel} data[n,j,:,:] \star
       weight[i,j,:,:]
    
    where :math:`\star` is the 2-D cross-correlation operator.
    
    For general 2-D convolution, the shapes are
    
    - **data**: *(batch_size, channel, height, width)*
    - **weight**: *(num_filter, channel, kernel[0], kernel[1])*
    - **bias**: *(num_filter,)*
    - **out**: *(batch_size, num_filter, out_height, out_width)*.
    
    Define::
    
      f(x,k,p,s,d) = floor((x+2*p-d*(k-1)-1)/s)+1
    
    then we have::
    
      out_height=f(height, kernel[0], pad[0], stride[0], dilate[0])
      out_width=f(width, kernel[1], pad[1], stride[1], dilate[1])
    
    If ``no_bias`` is set to be true, then the ``bias`` term is ignored.
    
    The default data ``layout`` is *NCHW*, namely *(batch_size, channel, height,
    width)*. We can choose other layouts such as *NWC*.
    
    If ``num_group`` is larger than 1, denoted by *g*, then split the input ``data``
    evenly into *g* parts along the channel axis, and also evenly split ``weight``
    along the first dimension. Next compute the convolution on the *i*-th part of
    the data with the *i*-th weight part. The output is obtained by concatenating all
    the *g* results.
    
    1-D convolution does not have *height* dimension but only *width* in space.
    
    - **data**: *(batch_size, channel, width)*
    - **weight**: *(num_filter, channel, kernel[0])*
    - **bias**: *(num_filter,)*
    - **out**: *(batch_size, num_filter, out_width)*.
    
    3-D convolution adds an additional *depth* dimension besides *height* and
    *width*. The shapes are
    
    - **data**: *(batch_size, channel, depth, height, width)*
    - **weight**: *(num_filter, channel, kernel[0], kernel[1], kernel[2])*
    - **bias**: *(num_filter,)*
    - **out**: *(batch_size, num_filter, out_depth, out_height, out_width)*.
    
    Both ``weight`` and ``bias`` are learnable parameters.
    
    There are other options to tune the performance.
    
    - **cudnn_tune**: enable this option leads to higher startup time but may give
      faster speed. Options are
    
      - **off**: no tuning
      - **limited_workspace**:run test and pick the fastest algorithm that doesn't
        exceed workspace limit.
      - **fastest**: pick the fastest algorithm and ignore workspace limit.
      - **None** (default): the behavior is determined by environment variable
        ``MXNET_CUDNN_AUTOTUNE_DEFAULT``. 0 for off, 1 for limited workspace
        (default), 2 for fastest.
    
    - **workspace**: A large number leads to more (GPU) memory usage but may improve
      the performance.

  11. abstract def Correlation(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Applies correlation to inputs.
    
    The correlation layer performs multiplicative patch comparisons between two feature maps.
    
    Given two multi-channel feature maps :math:`f_{1}, f_{2}`, with :math:`w`, :math:`h`, and :math:`c` being their width, height, and number of channels,
    the correlation layer lets the network compare each patch from :math:`f_{1}` with each patch from :math:`f_{2}`.
    
    For now we consider only a single comparison of two patches. The 'correlation' of two patches centered at :math:`x_{1}` in the first map and
    :math:`x_{2}` in the second map is then defined as:
    
    .. math::
    
       c(x_{1}, x_{2}) = \sum_{o \in [-k,k] \times [-k,k]} <f_{1}(x_{1} + o), f_{2}(x_{2} + o)>
    
    for a square patch of size :math:`K:=2k+1`.
    
    Note that the equation above is identical to one step of a convolution in neural networks, but instead of convolving data with a filter, it convolves data with other
    data. For this reason, it has no training weights.
    
    Computing :math:`c(x_{1}, x_{2})` involves :math:`c * K^{2}` multiplications. Comparing all patch combinations involves :math:`w^{2}*h^{2}` such computations.
    
    Given a maximum displacement :math:`d`, for each location :math:`x_{1}` it computes correlations :math:`c(x_{1}, x_{2})` only in a neighborhood of size :math:`D:=2d+1`,
    by limiting the range of :math:`x_{2}`. We use strides :math:`s_{1}, s_{2}`, to quantize :math:`x_{1}` globally and to quantize :math:`x_{2}` within the neighborhood
    centered around :math:`x_{1}`.
    
    The final output is defined by the following expression:
    
    .. math::
      out[n, q, i, j] = c(x_{i, j}, x_{q})
    
    where :math:`i` and :math:`j` enumerate spatial locations in :math:`f_{1}`, and :math:`q` denotes the :math:`q^{th}` neighborhood of :math:`x_{i,j}`.

  17. abstract def Embedding(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Maps integer indices to vector representations (embeddings).
    
    This operator maps words to real-valued vectors in a high-dimensional space,
    called word embeddings. These embeddings can capture semantic and syntactic properties of the words.
    For example, it has been noted that in the learned embedding spaces, similar words tend
    to be close to each other and dissimilar words far apart.
    
    For an input array of shape (d1, ..., dK),
    the shape of an output array is (d1, ..., dK, output_dim).
    All the input values should be integers in the range [0, input_dim).
    
    If the input_dim is ip0 and output_dim is op0, then shape of the embedding weight matrix must be
    (ip0, op0).
    
    By default, if any index mentioned is too large, it is replaced by the index that addresses
    the last vector in an embedding matrix.
    
    Examples::
    
      input_dim = 4
      output_dim = 5
    
      // Each row in weight matrix y represents a word. So, y = (w0,w1,w2,w3)

      // Input array x represents n-grams(2-gram). So, x = [(w1,w3), (w0,w2)]
      x = `[ [ 1.,  3.],
           [ 0.,  2.] ]
    
      // Mapped input x to its vector representation y.

                                [ 15.,  16.,  17.,  18.,  19.] ],

    The storage type of weight can be either row_sparse or default.
    
    .. Note::
    
        If "sparse_grad" is set to True, the storage type of gradient w.r.t weights will be
        "row_sparse". Only a subset of optimizers support sparse gradients, including SGD, AdaGrad
        and Adam. Note that by default lazy updates is turned on, which may perform differently

    Flattens the input array into a 2-D array by collapsing the higher dimensions.
    
    .. note:: `Flatten` is deprecated. Use `flatten` instead.
    
    For an input array with shape ``(d1, d2, ..., dk)``, `flatten` operation reshapes

    - **bias**: `(num_hidden,)`
    - **out**: `(x1, x2, ..., xn, num_hidden)`
    
    The learnable parameters include both ``weight`` and ``bias``.
    
    If ``no_bias`` is set to be true, then the ``bias`` term is ignored.
    
    .. Note::
    
        The sparse support for FullyConnected is limited to forward evaluation with `row_sparse`
        weight and bias, where the length of `weight.indices` and `bias.indices` must be equal
        to `num_hidden`. This could be useful for model inference with `row_sparse` weights
        trained with importance sampling or noise contrastive estimation.
    
        To compute linear transformation with 'csr' sparse data, sparse.dot is recommended instead
        of sparse.FullyConnected.

    Applies instance normalization to the n-dimensional input array.
    
    This operator takes an n-dimensional input array where (n>2) and normalizes
    the input using the following formula:
    
    .. math::
    
      out = \frac{x - mean[data]}{ \sqrt{Var[data]} + \epsilon} * gamma + beta
    
    This layer is similar to batch normalization layer (`BatchNorm`)
    with two differences: first, the normalization is
    carried out per example (instance), not over a batch. Second, the
    same normalization is applied both at test and train time. This
    operation is also known as `contrast normalization`.
    
    If the input data is of shape [batch, channel, spacial_dim1, spacial_dim2, ...],
    `gamma` and `beta` parameters must be vectors of shape [channel].
    
    This implementation is based on paper:

    Normalizes the channels of the input tensor by mean and variance, and applies a scale ``gamma`` as

    Assume the input has more than one dimension and we normalize along axis 1.
    We first compute the mean and variance along this axis and then

      out = \frac{data - mean(data, axis)}{\sqrt{var(data, axis) + \epsilon}} * gamma + beta
    
    Both ``gamma`` and ``beta`` are learnable parameters.
    
    Unlike BatchNorm and InstanceNorm,  the *mean* and *var* are computed along the channel dimension.
    
    Assume the input has size *k* on axis 1, then both ``gamma`` and ``beta``
    have shape *(k,)*. If ``output_mean_var`` is set to be true, then outputs both ``data_mean`` and
    ``data_std``. Note that no gradient will be passed through these two outputs.
    
    The parameter ``axis`` specifies which axis of the input shape denotes
    the 'channel' (separately normalized groups).  The default is -1, which sets the channel
    axis to be the last item in the input shape.

    Applies a logistic function to the input.
    
    The logistic function, also known as the sigmoid function, is computed as
    :math:`\frac{1}{1+exp(-\textbf{x})}`.
    
    Commonly, the sigmoid is used to squash the real-valued output of a linear model
    :math:`wTx+b` into the [0,1] range so that it can be interpreted as a probability.
    It is suitable for binary classification or probability prediction tasks.
    
    .. note::
       Use the LogisticRegressionOutput as the final output layer of a net.
    
    The storage type of ``label`` can be ``default`` or ``csr``
    
    - LogisticRegressionOutput(default, default) = default
    - LogisticRegressionOutput(default, csr) = default
    
    The loss function used is the Binary Cross Entropy Loss:
    
    :math:`-{(y\log(p) + (1 - y)\log(1 - p))}`
    
    Where `y` is the ground truth probability of positive outcome for a given example, and `p` the probability predicted by the model. By default, gradients of this loss function are scaled by factor `1/m`, where m is the number of regression outputs of a training example.
    The parameter `grad_scale` can be used to change this scale to `grad_scale/m`.

    Make your own loss function in network construction.
    
    This operator accepts a customized loss function symbol as a terminal loss and
    the symbol should be an operator with no backward dependency.
    The output of this function is the gradient of loss with respect to the input data.
    
    For example, if you are a making a cross entropy loss function. Assume ``out`` is the
    predicted output and ``label`` is the true label, then the cross entropy can be defined as::
    
      cross_entropy = label * log(out) + (1 - label) * log(1 - out)
      loss = MakeLoss(cross_entropy)
    
    We will need to use ``MakeLoss`` when we are creating our own loss function or we want to
    combine multiple loss functions. Also we may want to stop some variables' gradients
    from backpropagation. See more detail in ``BlockGrad`` or ``stop_gradient``.
    
    In addition, we can give a scale to the loss by setting ``grad_scale``,
    so that the gradient of the loss will be rescaled in the backpropagation.

  31. abstract def Pad(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Pads an input array with a constant or edge values of the array.
    
    .. note:: `Pad` is deprecated. Use `pad` instead.
    
    .. note:: Current implementation only supports 4D and 5D input arrays with padding applied
       only on axes 1, 2 and 3. Expects axes 4 and 5 in `pad_width` to be zero.
    
    This operation pads an input array with either a `constant_value` or edge values
    along each axis of the input array. The amount of padding is specified by `pad_width`.
    
    `pad_width` is a tuple of integer padding widths for each axis of the format
    ``(before_1, after_1, ... , before_N, after_N)``. The `pad_width` should be of length ``2*N``
    where ``N`` is the number of dimensions of the array.
    
    For dimension ``N`` of the input array, ``before_N`` and ``after_N`` indicates how many values
    to add before and after the elements of the array along dimension ``N``.
    The widths of the higher two dimensions ``before_1``, ``after_1``, ``before_2``,
    ``after_2`` must be 0.

    Notes on Lp pooling:
    
    Lp pooling was first introduced by this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1204.3968.pdf.
    L-1 pooling is simply sum pooling, while L-inf pooling is simply max pooling.
    We can see that Lp pooling stands between those two, in practice the most common value for p is 2.
    
    For each window ``X``, the mathematical expression for Lp pooling is:
    
    :math:`f(X) = \sqrt[p]{\sum_{x}^{X} x^p}`

  35. abstract def ROIPooling(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Performs region of interest(ROI) pooling on the input array.
    
    ROI pooling is a variant of a max pooling layer, in which the output size is fixed and
    region of interest is a parameter. Its purpose is to perform max pooling on the inputs
    of non-uniform sizes to obtain fixed-size feature maps. ROI pooling is a neural-net
    layer mostly used in training a `Fast R-CNN` network for object detection.
    
    This operator takes a 4D feature map as an input array and region proposals as `rois`,
    then it pools over sub-regions of input and produces a fixed-sized output array
    regardless of the ROI size.
    
    To crop the feature map accordingly, you can resize the bounding box coordinates
    by changing the parameters `rois` and `spatial_scale`.
    
    The cropped feature maps are pooled by standard max pooling operation to a fixed size output
    indicated by a `pooled_size` parameter. batch_size will change to the number of region
    bounding boxes after `ROIPooling`.
    
    The size of each region of interest doesn't have to be perfectly divisible by
    the number of pooling sections(`pooled_size`).
    
    Example::
    
      x = `[ [`[ [  0.,   1.,   2.,   3.,   4.,   5.],
             [  6.,   7.,   8.,   9.,  10.,  11.],

  36. abstract def Reshape(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Reshapes the input array.
    
    .. note:: ``Reshape`` is deprecated, use ``reshape``
    
    Given an array and a shape, this function returns a copy of the array in the new shape.
    The shape is a tuple of integers such as (2,3,4). The size of the new shape should be same as the size of the input array.
    
    Example::
    
      reshape([1,2,3,4], shape=(2,2)) = `[ [1,2], [3,4] ]
    
    Some dimensions of the shape can take special values from the set {0, -1, -2, -3, -4}. The significance of each is explained below:
    
    - ``0``  copy this dimension from the input to the output shape.
    
      Example::
    
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (4,0,2), output shape = (4,3,2)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (2,0,0), output shape = (2,3,4)
    
    - ``-1`` infers the dimension of the output shape by using the remainder of the input dimensions
      keeping the size of the new array same as that of the input array.
      At most one dimension of shape can be -1.
    
      Example::
    
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (6,1,-1), output shape = (6,1,4)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (3,-1,8), output shape = (3,1,8)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape=(-1,), output shape = (24,)
    
    - ``-2`` copy all/remainder of the input dimensions to the output shape.
    
      Example::
    
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (-2,), output shape = (2,3,4)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (2,-2), output shape = (2,3,4)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (-2,1,1), output shape = (2,3,4,1,1)
    
    - ``-3`` use the product of two consecutive dimensions of the input shape as the output dimension.
    
      Example::
    
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (-3,4), output shape = (6,4)
      - input shape = (2,3,4,5), shape = (-3,-3), output shape = (6,20)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (0,-3), output shape = (2,12)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (-3,-2), output shape = (6,4)
    
    - ``-4`` split one dimension of the input into two dimensions passed subsequent to -4 in shape (can contain -1).
    
      Example::
    
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (-4,1,2,-2), output shape =(1,2,3,4)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (2,-4,-1,3,-2), output shape = (2,1,3,4)
    
    If the argument `reverse` is set to 1, then the special values are inferred from right to left.
    
      Example::
    
      - without reverse=1, for input shape = (10,5,4), shape = (-1,0), output shape would be (40,5)
      - with reverse=1, output shape will be (50,4).

  44. abstract def SoftmaxOutput(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Computes the gradient of cross entropy loss with respect to softmax output.
    
    - This operator computes the gradient in two steps.
      The cross entropy loss does not actually need to be computed.
    
      - Applies softmax function on the input array.
      - Computes and returns the gradient of cross entropy loss w.r.t. the softmax output.
    
    - The softmax function, cross entropy loss and gradient is given by:
    
      - Softmax Function:
    
        .. math:: \text{softmax}(x)_i = \frac{exp(x_i)}{\sum_j exp(x_j)}
    
      - Cross Entropy Function:
    
        .. math:: \text{CE(label, output)} = - \sum_i \text{label}_i \log(\text{output}_i)
    
      - The gradient of cross entropy loss w.r.t softmax output:
    
        .. math:: \text{gradient} = \text{output} - \text{label}
    
    - During forward propagation, the softmax function is computed for each instance in the input array.
    
      For general *N*-D input arrays with shape :math:`(d_1, d_2, ..., d_n)`. The size is
      :math:`s=d_1 \cdot d_2 \cdot \cdot \cdot d_n`. We can use the parameters `preserve_shape`
      and `multi_output` to specify the way to compute softmax:
    
      - By default, `preserve_shape` is ``false``. This operator will reshape the input array
        into a 2-D array with shape :math:`(d_1, \frac{s}{d_1})` and then compute the softmax function for
        each row in the reshaped array, and afterwards reshape it back to the original shape
        :math:`(d_1, d_2, ..., d_n)`.
      - If `preserve_shape` is ``true``, the softmax function will be computed along
        the last axis (`axis` = ``-1``).
      - If `multi_output` is ``true``, the softmax function will be computed along
        the second axis (`axis` = ``1``).
    
    - During backward propagation, the gradient of cross-entropy loss w.r.t softmax output array is computed.
      The provided label can be a one-hot label array or a probability label array.
    
      - If the parameter `use_ignore` is ``true``, `ignore_label` can specify input instances
        with a particular label to be ignored during backward propagation. **This has no effect when
        softmax `output` has same shape as `label`**.
    
        Example::

      - The parameter `grad_scale` can be used to rescale the gradient, which is often used to
        give each loss function different weights.
    
      - This operator also supports various ways to normalize the gradient by `normalization`,
        The `normalization` is applied if softmax output has different shape than the labels.
        The `normalization` mode can be set to the followings:
    
        - ``'null'``: do nothing.
        - ``'batch'``: divide the gradient by the batch size.
        - ``'valid'``: divide the gradient by the number of instances which are not ignored.

    Update function for Adam optimizer. Adam is seen as a generalization
    of AdaGrad.
    
    Adam update consists of the following steps, where g represents gradient and m, v
    are 1st and 2nd order moment estimates (mean and variance).
    
    .. math::
    
     g_t = \nabla J(W_{t-1})\\
     m_t = \beta_1 m_{t-1} + (1 - \beta_1) g_t\\
     v_t = \beta_2 v_{t-1} + (1 - \beta_2) g_t^2\\
     W_t = W_{t-1} - \alpha \frac{ m_t }{ \sqrt{ v_t } + \epsilon }
    
    It updates the weights using::
    
     m = beta1*m + (1-beta1)*grad
     v = beta2*v + (1-beta2)*(grad**2)
     w += - learning_rate * m / (sqrt(v) + epsilon)
    
    However, if grad's storage type is ``row_sparse``, ``lazy_update`` is True and the storage
    type of weight is the same as those of m and v,
    only the row slices whose indices appear in grad.indices are updated (for w, m and v)::
    
     for row in grad.indices:
         m[row] = beta1*m[row] + (1-beta1)*grad[row]
         v[row] = beta2*v[row] + (1-beta2)*(grad[row]**2)
         w[row] += - learning_rate * m[row] / (sqrt(v[row]) + epsilon)

       broadcast_to(`[ [1,2,3] ], shape=(2,3)) = `[ [ 1.,  2.,  3.],
                                               [ 1.,  2.,  3.] ])
    
    The dimension which you do not want to change can also be kept as `0` which means copy the original value.
    So with `shape=(2,0)`, we will obtain the same result as in the above example.

    Casts tensor storage type to the new type.
    
    When an NDArray with default storage type is cast to csr or row_sparse storage,
    the result is compact, which means:
    
    - for csr, zero values will not be retained
    - for row_sparse, row slices of all zeros will not be retained
    
    The storage type of ``cast_storage`` output depends on stype parameter:
    
    - cast_storage(csr, 'default') = default
    - cast_storage(row_sparse, 'default') = default
    - cast_storage(default, 'csr') = csr
    - cast_storage(default, 'row_sparse') = row_sparse

    Slices a region of the array.
    
    .. note:: ``crop`` is deprecated. Use ``slice`` instead.
    
    This function returns a sliced array between the indices given
    by `begin` and `end` with the corresponding `step`.
    
    For an input array of ``shape=(d_0, d_1, ..., d_n-1)``,
    slice operation with ``begin=(b_0, b_1...b_m-1)``,
    ``end=(e_0, e_1, ..., e_m-1)``, and ``step=(s_0, s_1, ..., s_m-1)``,
    where m <= n, results in an array with the shape
    ``(|e_0-b_0|/|s_0|, ..., |e_m-1-b_m-1|/|s_m-1|, d_m, ..., d_n-1)``.
    
    The resulting array's *k*-th dimension contains elements
    from the *k*-th dimension of the input array starting
    from index ``b_k`` (inclusive) with step ``s_k``
    until reaching ``e_k`` (exclusive).
    
    If the *k*-th elements are `None` in the sequence of `begin`, `end`,
    and `step`, the following rule will be used to set default values.
    If `s_k` is `None`, set `s_k=1`. If `s_k > 0`, set `b_k=0`, `e_k=d_k`;
    else, set `b_k=d_k-1`, `e_k=-1`.
    
    The storage type of ``slice`` output depends on storage types of inputs
    
    - slice(csr) = csr
    - otherwise, ``slice`` generates output with default storage
    
    .. note:: When input data storage type is csr, it only supports
       step=(), or step=(None,), or step=(1,) to generate a csr output.
       For other step parameter values, it falls back to slicing
       a dense tensor.

    The shapes of the inputs and outputs:
    
    - **data**: `(sequence_length, batch_size, alphabet_size)`
    - **label**: `(batch_size, label_sequence_length)`
    - **out**: `(batch_size)`
    
    The `data` tensor consists of sequences of activation vectors (without applying softmax),
    with i-th channel in the last dimension corresponding to i-th label
    for i between 0 and alphabet_size-1 (i.e always 0-indexed).
    Alphabet size should include one additional value reserved for blank label.
    When `blank_label` is ``"first"``, the ``0``-th channel is be reserved for
    activation of blank label, or otherwise if it is "last", ``(alphabet_size-1)``-th channel should be
    reserved for blank label.
    
    ``label`` is an index matrix of integers. When `blank_label` is ``"first"``,
    the value 0 is then reserved for blank label, and should not be passed in this matrix. Otherwise,
    when `blank_label` is ``"last"``, the value `(alphabet_size-1)` is reserved for blank label.
    
    If a sequence of labels is shorter than *label_sequence_length*, use the special
    padding value at the end of the sequence to conform it to the correct
    length. The padding value is `0` when `blank_label` is ``"first"``, and `-1` otherwise.
    
    For example, suppose the vocabulary is `[a, b, c]`, and in one batch we have three sequences
    'ba', 'cbb', and 'abac'. When `blank_label` is ``"first"``, we can index the labels as
    `{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}`, and we reserve the 0-th channel for blank label in data tensor.
    The resulting `label` tensor should be padded to be::
    
      `[ [2, 1, 0, 0], [3, 2, 2, 0], [1, 2, 1, 3] ]
    
    When `blank_label` is ``"last"``, we can index the labels as
    `{'a': 0, 'b': 1, 'c': 2}`, and we reserve the channel index 3 for blank label in data tensor.
    The resulting `label` tensor should be padded to be::
    
      `[ [1, 0, -1, -1], [2, 1, 1, -1], [0, 1, 0, 2] ]
    
    ``out`` is a list of CTC loss values, one per example in the batch.

  100. abstract def diag(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Extracts a diagonal or constructs a diagonal array.
    
    ``diag``'s behavior depends on the input array dimensions:
    
    - 1-D arrays: constructs a 2-D array with the input as its diagonal, all other elements are zero.
    - N-D arrays: extracts the diagonals of the sub-arrays with axes specified by ``axis1`` and ``axis2``.
      The output shape would be decided by removing the axes numbered ``axis1`` and ``axis2`` from the
      input shape and appending to the result a new axis with the size of the diagonals in question.
    
      For example, when the input shape is `(2, 3, 4, 5)`, ``axis1`` and ``axis2`` are 0 and 2
      respectively and ``k`` is 0, the resulting shape would be `(3, 5, 2)`.

  101. abstract def dot(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Dot product of two arrays.
    
    ``dot``'s behavior depends on the input array dimensions:
    
    - 1-D arrays: inner product of vectors
    - 2-D arrays: matrix multiplication
    - N-D arrays: a sum product over the last axis of the first input and the first
      axis of the second input
    
      For example, given 3-D ``x`` with shape `(n,m,k)` and ``y`` with shape `(k,r,s)`, the
      result array will have shape `(n,m,r,s)`. It is computed by::
    
        dot(x,y)[i,j,a,b] = sum(x[i,j,:]*y[:,a,b])
    
      Example::
    
        x = reshape([0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7], shape=(2,2,2))
        y = reshape([7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0], shape=(2,2,2))
        dot(x,y)[0,0,1,1] = 0
        sum(x[0,0,:]*y[:,1,1]) = 0
    
    The storage type of ``dot`` output depends on storage types of inputs, transpose option and
    forward_stype option for output storage type. Implemented sparse operations include:
    
    - dot(default, default, transpose_a=True/False, transpose_b=True/False) = default
    - dot(csr, default, transpose_a=True) = default
    - dot(csr, default, transpose_a=True) = row_sparse
    - dot(csr, default) = default
    - dot(csr, row_sparse) = default
    - dot(default, csr) = csr (CPU only)
    - dot(default, csr, forward_stype='default') = default
    - dot(default, csr, transpose_b=True, forward_stype='default') = default
    
    If the combination of input storage types and forward_stype does not match any of the
    above patterns, ``dot`` will fallback and generate output with default storage.
    
    .. Note::
    
        If the storage type of the lhs is "csr", the storage type of gradient w.r.t rhs will be
        "row_sparse". Only a subset of optimizers support sparse gradients, including SGD, AdaGrad
        and Adam. Note that by default lazy updates is turned on, which may perform differently
        from standard updates. For more details, please check the Optimization API at:

    LQ factorization for general matrix.
    Input is a tensor *A* of dimension *n >= 2*.
    
    If *n=2*, we compute the LQ factorization (LAPACK *gelqf*, followed by *orglq*). *A*
    must have shape *(x, y)* with *x <= y*, and must have full rank *=x*. The LQ
    factorization consists of *L* with shape *(x, x)* and *Q* with shape *(x, y)*, so
    that:
    
       *A* = *L* \* *Q*
    
    Here, *L* is lower triangular (upper triangle equal to zero) with nonzero diagonal,
    and *Q* is row-orthonormal, meaning that
    
       *Q* \* *Q*\ :sup:`T`
    
    is equal to the identity matrix of shape *(x, x)*.
    
    If *n>2*, *gelqf* is performed separately on the trailing two dimensions for all
    inputs (batch mode).

  124. abstract def linalg_gemm(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Performs general matrix multiplication and accumulation.
    Input are tensors *A*, *B*, *C*, each of dimension *n >= 2* and having the same shape
    on the leading *n-2* dimensions.
    
    If *n=2*, the BLAS3 function *gemm* is performed:
    
       *out* = *alpha* \* *op*\ (*A*) \* *op*\ (*B*) + *beta* \* *C*
    
    Here, *alpha* and *beta* are scalar parameters, and *op()* is either the identity or
    matrix transposition (depending on *transpose_a*, *transpose_b*).
    
    If *n>2*, *gemm* is performed separately for a batch of matrices. The column indices of the matrices
    are given by the last dimensions of the tensors, the row indices by the axis specified with the *axis*
    parameter. By default, the trailing two dimensions will be used for matrix encoding.
    
    For a non-default axis parameter, the operation performed is equivalent to a series of swapaxes/gemm/swapaxes
    calls. For example let *A*, *B*, *C* be 5 dimensional tensors. Then gemm(*A*, *B*, *C*, axis=1) is equivalent to
    
        A1 = swapaxes(A, dim1=1, dim2=3)
        B1 = swapaxes(B, dim1=1, dim2=3)
        C = swapaxes(C, dim1=1, dim2=3)
        C = gemm(A1, B1, C)
        C = swapaxis(C, dim1=1, dim2=3)
    
    without the overhead of the additional swapaxis operations.
    
    When the input data is of type float32 and the environment variables MXNET_CUDA_ALLOW_TENSOR_CORE
    and MXNET_CUDA_TENSOR_OP_MATH_ALLOW_CONVERSION are set to 1, this operator will try to use
    pseudo-float16 precision (float32 math with float16 I/O) precision in order to use
    Tensor Cores on suitable NVIDIA GPUs. This can sometimes give significant speedups.

  138. abstract def make_loss(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Make your own loss function in network construction.
    
    This operator accepts a customized loss function symbol as a terminal loss and
    the symbol should be an operator with no backward dependency.
    The output of this function is the gradient of loss with respect to the input data.
    
    For example, if you are a making a cross entropy loss function. Assume ``out`` is the
    predicted output and ``label`` is the true label, then the cross entropy can be defined as::
    
      cross_entropy = label * log(out) + (1 - label) * log(1 - out)
      loss = make_loss(cross_entropy)
    
    We will need to use ``make_loss`` when we are creating our own loss function or we want to
    combine multiple loss functions. Also we may want to stop some variables' gradients
    from backpropagation. See more detail in ``BlockGrad`` or ``stop_gradient``.
    
    The storage type of ``make_loss`` output depends upon the input storage type:
    
       - make_loss(default) = default
       - make_loss(row_sparse) = row_sparse

  153. abstract def pad(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Pads an input array with a constant or edge values of the array.
    
    .. note:: `Pad` is deprecated. Use `pad` instead.
    
    .. note:: Current implementation only supports 4D and 5D input arrays with padding applied
       only on axes 1, 2 and 3. Expects axes 4 and 5 in `pad_width` to be zero.
    
    This operation pads an input array with either a `constant_value` or edge values
    along each axis of the input array. The amount of padding is specified by `pad_width`.
    
    `pad_width` is a tuple of integer padding widths for each axis of the format
    ``(before_1, after_1, ... , before_N, after_N)``. The `pad_width` should be of length ``2*N``
    where ``N`` is the number of dimensions of the array.
    
    For dimension ``N`` of the input array, ``before_N`` and ``after_N`` indicates how many values
    to add before and after the elements of the array along dimension ``N``.
    The widths of the higher two dimensions ``before_1``, ``after_1``, ``before_2``,
    ``after_2`` must be 0.

  170. abstract def reshape(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Reshapes the input array.
    
    .. note:: ``Reshape`` is deprecated, use ``reshape``
    
    Given an array and a shape, this function returns a copy of the array in the new shape.
    The shape is a tuple of integers such as (2,3,4). The size of the new shape should be same as the size of the input array.
    
    Example::
    
      reshape([1,2,3,4], shape=(2,2)) = `[ [1,2], [3,4] ]
    
    Some dimensions of the shape can take special values from the set {0, -1, -2, -3, -4}. The significance of each is explained below:
    
    - ``0``  copy this dimension from the input to the output shape.
    
      Example::
    
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (4,0,2), output shape = (4,3,2)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (2,0,0), output shape = (2,3,4)
    
    - ``-1`` infers the dimension of the output shape by using the remainder of the input dimensions
      keeping the size of the new array same as that of the input array.
      At most one dimension of shape can be -1.
    
      Example::
    
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (6,1,-1), output shape = (6,1,4)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (3,-1,8), output shape = (3,1,8)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape=(-1,), output shape = (24,)
    
    - ``-2`` copy all/remainder of the input dimensions to the output shape.
    
      Example::
    
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (-2,), output shape = (2,3,4)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (2,-2), output shape = (2,3,4)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (-2,1,1), output shape = (2,3,4,1,1)
    
    - ``-3`` use the product of two consecutive dimensions of the input shape as the output dimension.
    
      Example::
    
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (-3,4), output shape = (6,4)
      - input shape = (2,3,4,5), shape = (-3,-3), output shape = (6,20)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (0,-3), output shape = (2,12)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (-3,-2), output shape = (6,4)
    
    - ``-4`` split one dimension of the input into two dimensions passed subsequent to -4 in shape (can contain -1).
    
      Example::
    
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (-4,1,2,-2), output shape =(1,2,3,4)
      - input shape = (2,3,4), shape = (2,-4,-1,3,-2), output shape = (2,1,3,4)
    
    If the argument `reverse` is set to 1, then the special values are inferred from right to left.
    
      Example::
    
      - without reverse=1, for input shape = (10,5,4), shape = (-1,0), output shape would be (40,5)
      - with reverse=1, output shape will be (50,4).

  171. abstract def reshape_like(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Reshape some or all dimensions of `lhs` to have the same shape as some or all dimensions of `rhs`.
    
    Returns a **view** of the `lhs` array with a new shape without altering any data.
    
    Example::
    
      x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
      y = `[ [0, -4], [3, 2], [2, 2] ]
      reshape_like(x, y) = `[ [1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6] ]
    
    More precise control over how dimensions are inherited is achieved by specifying \
    slices over the `lhs` and `rhs` array dimensions. Only the sliced `lhs` dimensions \
    are reshaped to the `rhs` sliced dimensions, with the non-sliced `lhs` dimensions staying the same.
    
      Examples::
    
      - lhs shape = (30,7), rhs shape = (15,2,4), lhs_begin=0, lhs_end=1, rhs_begin=0, rhs_end=2, output shape = (15,2,7)
      - lhs shape = (3, 5), rhs shape = (1,15,4), lhs_begin=0, lhs_end=2, rhs_begin=1, rhs_end=2, output shape = (15)
    
    Negative indices are supported, and `None` can be used for either `lhs_end` or `rhs_end` to indicate the end of the range.
    
      Example::
    
      - lhs shape = (30, 12), rhs shape = (4, 2, 2, 3), lhs_begin=-1, lhs_end=None, rhs_begin=1, rhs_end=None, output shape = (30, 2, 2, 3)

    Update function for `RMSProp` optimizer.
    
    `RMSprop` is a variant of stochastic gradient descent where the gradients are
    divided by a cache which grows with the sum of squares of recent gradients?
    
    `RMSProp` is similar to `AdaGrad`, a popular variant of `SGD` which adaptively
    tunes the learning rate of each parameter. `AdaGrad` lowers the learning rate for
    each parameter monotonically over the course of training.
    While this is analytically motivated for convex optimizations, it may not be ideal
    for non-convex problems. `RMSProp` deals with this heuristically by allowing the
    learning rates to rebound as the denominator decays over time.
    
    Define the Root Mean Square (RMS) error criterion of the gradient as
    :math:`RMS[g]_t = \sqrt{E[g^2]_t + \epsilon}`, where :math:`g` represents
    gradient and :math:`E[g^2]_t` is the decaying average over past squared gradient.
    
    The :math:`E[g^2]_t` is given by:
    
    .. math::
      E[g^2]_t = \gamma * E[g^2]_{t-1} + (1-\gamma) * g_t^2
    
    The update step is
    
    .. math::
      \theta_{t+1} = \theta_t - \frac{\eta}{RMS[g]_t} g_t
    
    The RMSProp code follows the version in
    http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~tijmen/csc321/slides/lecture_slides_lec6.pdf
    Tieleman & Hinton, 2012.
    
    Hinton suggests the momentum term :math:`\gamma` to be 0.9 and the learning rate
    :math:`\eta` to be 0.001.

    Concurrent sampling from multiple multinomial distributions.
    
    *data* is an *n* dimensional array whose last dimension has length *k*, where
    *k* is the number of possible outcomes of each multinomial distribution. This
    operator will draw *shape* samples from each distribution. If shape is empty
    one sample will be drawn from each distribution.
    
    If *get_prob* is true, a second array containing log likelihood of the drawn
    samples will also be returned. This is usually used for reinforcement learning
    where you can provide reward as head gradient for this array to estimate
    gradient.
    
    Note that the input distribution must be normalized, i.e. *data* must sum to
    1 along its last axis.
    
    Examples::
    
       probs = `[ [0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4], [0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1, 0] ]

    Slices a region of the array.
    
    .. note:: ``crop`` is deprecated. Use ``slice`` instead.
    
    This function returns a sliced array between the indices given
    by `begin` and `end` with the corresponding `step`.
    
    For an input array of ``shape=(d_0, d_1, ..., d_n-1)``,
    slice operation with ``begin=(b_0, b_1...b_m-1)``,
    ``end=(e_0, e_1, ..., e_m-1)``, and ``step=(s_0, s_1, ..., s_m-1)``,
    where m <= n, results in an array with the shape
    ``(|e_0-b_0|/|s_0|, ..., |e_m-1-b_m-1|/|s_m-1|, d_m, ..., d_n-1)``.
    
    The resulting array's *k*-th dimension contains elements
    from the *k*-th dimension of the input array starting
    from index ``b_k`` (inclusive) with step ``s_k``
    until reaching ``e_k`` (exclusive).
    
    If the *k*-th elements are `None` in the sequence of `begin`, `end`,
    and `step`, the following rule will be used to set default values.
    If `s_k` is `None`, set `s_k=1`. If `s_k > 0`, set `b_k=0`, `e_k=d_k`;
    else, set `b_k=d_k-1`, `e_k=-1`.
    
    The storage type of ``slice`` output depends on storage types of inputs
    
    - slice(csr) = csr
    - otherwise, ``slice`` generates output with default storage
    
    .. note:: When input data storage type is csr, it only supports
       step=(), or step=(None,), or step=(1,) to generate a csr output.
       For other step parameter values, it falls back to slicing
       a dense tensor.
    
    Example::
    
      x = `[ [  1.,   2.,   3.,   4.],

  200. abstract def slice_like(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Slices a region of the array like the shape of another array.
    
    This function is similar to ``slice``, however, the `begin` are always `0`s
    and `end` of specific axes are inferred from the second input `shape_like`.
    
    Given the second `shape_like` input of ``shape=(d_0, d_1, ..., d_n-1)``,
    a ``slice_like`` operator with default empty `axes`, it performs the
    following operation:
    
    `` out = slice(input, begin=(0, 0, ..., 0), end=(d_0, d_1, ..., d_n-1))``.
    
    When `axes` is not empty, it is used to speficy which axes are being sliced.
    
    Given a 4-d input data, ``slice_like`` operator with ``axes=(0, 2, -1)``
    will perform the following operation:
    
    `` out = slice(input, begin=(0, 0, 0, 0), end=(d_0, None, d_2, d_3))``.
    
    Note that it is allowed to have first and second input with different dimensions,
    however, you have to make sure the `axes` are specified and not exceeding the
    dimension limits.
    
    For example, given `input_1` with ``shape=(2,3,4,5)`` and `input_2` with
    ``shape=(1,2,3)``, it is not allowed to use:
    
    `` out = slice_like(a, b)`` because ndim of `input_1` is 4, and ndim of `input_2`
    is 3.
    
    The following is allowed in this situation:
    
    `` out = slice_like(a, b, axes=(0, 2))``
    
    Example::
    
      x = `[ [  1.,   2.,   3.,   4.],
           [  5.,   6.,   7.,   8.],

    `squeeze_axis=1` removes the axis with length 1 from the shapes of the output arrays.
    **Note** that setting `squeeze_axis` to ``1`` removes axis with length 1 only
    along the `axis` which it is split.
    Also `squeeze_axis` can be set to true only if ``input.shape[axis] == num_outputs``.

    Remove single-dimensional entries from the shape of an array.
    Same behavior of defining the output tensor shape as numpy.squeeze for the most of cases.
    See the following note for exception.
    
    Examples::
    
      data = `[ `[ [0], [1], [2] ] ]
      squeeze(data) = [0, 1, 2]

      The output of this operator will keep at least one dimension not removed. For example,
      squeeze(`[ `[ [4] ] ]) = [4], while in numpy.squeeze, the output will become a scalar.

    Repeats the whole array multiple times.
    
    If ``reps`` has length *d*, and input array has dimension of *n*. There are

    - **n=d**. Repeat *i*-th dimension of the input by ``reps[i]`` times::

    - **n>d**. ``reps`` is promoted to length *n* by pre-pending 1's to it. Thus for
      an input shape ``(2,3)``, ``repos=(2,)`` is treated as ``(1,2)``::
    
    
        tile(x, reps=(2,)) = `[ [ 1.,  2.,  1.,  2.],

    - **n<d**. The input is promoted to be d-dimensional by prepending new axes. So a

  223. abstract def trunc(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Return the element-wise truncated value of the input.
    
    The truncated value of the scalar x is the nearest integer i which is closer to
    zero than x is. In short, the fractional part of the signed number x is discarded.
    
    Example::
    
       trunc([-2.1, -1.9, 1.5, 1.9, 2.1]) = [-2., -1.,  1.,  1.,  2.]
    
    The storage type of ``trunc`` output depends upon the input storage type:
    
       - trunc(default) = default
       - trunc(row_sparse) = row_sparse
       - trunc(csr) = csr

    Draw random samples from a uniform distribution.
    
    .. note:: The existing alias ``uniform`` is deprecated.
    
    Samples are uniformly distributed over the half-open interval *[low, high)*
    (includes *low*, but excludes *high*).
    
    Example::
    
       uniform(low=0, high=1, shape=(2,2)) = `[ [ 0.60276335,  0.85794562],
                                              [ 0.54488319,  0.84725171] ]

    Converts an array of flat indices into a batch of index arrays. The operator follows numpy conventions so a single multi index is given by a column of the output matrix.
    
    Examples::
    
       A = [22,41,37]
       unravel(A, shape=(7,6)) = `[ [3,6,6],[4,5,1] ]

  226. abstract def where(name: String = null, attr: Map[String, String] = null)(args: Symbol*)(kwargs: Map[String, Any] = null): Symbol

    Return the elements, either from x or y, depending on the condition.
    
    Given three ndarrays, condition, x, and y, return an ndarray with the elements from x or y,
    depending on the elements from condition are true or false. x and y must have the same shape.
    If condition has the same shape as x, each element in the output array is from x if the
    corresponding element in the condition is true, and from y if false.
    
    If condition does not have the same shape as x, it must be a 1D array whose size is
    the same as x's first dimension size. Each row of the output array is from x's row
    if the corresponding element from condition is true, and from y's row if false.
    
    Note that all non-zero values are interpreted as ``True`` in condition.
    
    Examples::
    
      x = `[ [1, 2], [3, 4] ]
      y = `[ [5, 6], [7, 8] ]
      cond = `[ [0, 1], [-1, 0] ]
    
      where(cond, x, y) = `[ [5, 2], [3, 8] ]
    
      csr_cond = cast_storage(cond, 'csr')
    
      where(csr_cond, x, y) = `[ [5, 2], [3, 8] ]

    fname

    The name of the file, examples:

    • s3://my-bucket/path/my-s3-symbol
