Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK) backend for PyMC4

Development

For API, Microsoft and Amazon have introduced a new library called GLUON which they describe as “Gluon provides a clear, concise API for defining machine learning models using a collection of pre-built, optimized neural network components”[1].

Gluon uses Mxnet as it’s backend but it will be able to use CNTK as it’s backend too.

Does this answer your concern regarding API?
