Hello all, I would like to propose the addition of a Java API to MXNet.
There has been some previous work done for the Scala API, and it makes sense to at least share the JNI layer between the two. The Java API probably should be aligned with the Python API (and others which exist already) with a few changes to give it a native Java feel. As far as I understand there are multiple people interested to work on this and it would be good to maybe come up with a written proposal on how things should be. My motivation is to get a Java API which can be used by Apache OpenNLP to solve various NLP tasks using Deep Learning based approaches and I am also interested to work on MXNet. Jörn
