If you don't want to use the gradients computed by the default

computation. You define your computation in
the forward method and provide the customized differentiation
in the backward method. During gradient computation, autograd will
use the user-defined backward function instead of the default chain-rule.
You can also cast to numpy array and back for some operations in
forward and backward.
For example, a stable sigmoid function can be defined as::
class sigmoid(mx.autograd.Function):
def forward(self, x):
y = 1 / (1 + mx.nd.exp(-x))
self.save_for_backward(y)

func = sigmoid()
