Interface Merger

All Superinterfaces:
Serializable
All Known Implementing Classes:
HeapMerger, MatrixHeapMerger
public interface Merger extends Serializable
An interface for merging an array of DenseSparseMatrix into a single DenseSparseMatrix.

Mergers are principally used to aggregate gradients across a minibatch.

Merging is done by summation.
