What is a block class in MXNet

This recipe explains what is a block class in MXNet

Recipe Objective: What is a block class in MXNet?

This recipe explains what a block class in MXNet is.

Build a Chatbot in Python from Scratch!

Step 1: Importing library

Let us first import the necessary libraries. We'll import ndarray(nd as alias) from mxnet and Block and neural network(nn as alias) from mxnet.gluon.

import mxnet as mx
from mxnet import nd
from mxnet.gluon import nn, Block

Step 2: Blocks

Block will take data as input and store the state in the form of passed parameters. These parameters are initialized as part of the forward call in an unorthodox manner. Block invokes a forward pass in the background to compute forward propagation. Block will automatically calculate gradient while invoking backward pass.

class obj(nn.Block):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
       super(obj, self).__init__(**kwargs)
       with self.name_scope():
          self.dense0 = nn.Dense(10)
          self.dense1 = nn.Dense(10)

    def forward(self, x):
       for block in self._children.values():
          x = block(x)
       return x
