Projects to be developed as part of Apache MXNet ecosystem can be included.

Q3 2018: Focus on Quality and Technical Debt

• Resolution of github issues: bugs, tests, builds, installation
• Translate Documentation
• Documentation of inference thread support and limitations
• High quality support for MKL (incl. MKL-DNN)
• Subgraph API for integrating backend accelerators with MXNet
• quantization flow for INT8 with MKL-DNN (suggested by Patrick patric.zhao@intel.com)
• Integration with Tensor RT (experimental in Q2)
• Gluon CV, NLP toolkit
• Increase example and tutorial coverage for various application domains - “MXNet by Example”
• Performance profiling and improvements
• Language API improvements - what is the community interest?: R (training), Java (wrapped around Scala?, inference), C++ (inference)

Q4 2018: Focus on feature gaps

• Resolution of github issues: performance, operators, feature requests
• Resolution of github issues: R, Gluon, C++, Python
• Scalability improvement for distributed processing
• Distributed training for Gluon CV, NLP toolkit
• Community contributions: array creation routines
• CI & validation for MXNet examples 
• Increase example and tutorial coverage for various application domains - “MXNet by Example”
• Android SDK for mobile devices

Q1 2019: Focus on Language AP

• Increase example and tutorial coverage for various application domains - “MXNet by Example”
• Support for low-bit precision inferencing
• IoT device support for inferencing
• MKL-DNN RNN API supports (patric.zhao@intel.com)
• Support for MacOS High Sierra and Mojave
• 
  

Q2 2019: TBD

• Increase example and tutorial coverage for various application domains - “MXNet by Example”

Future: Longterm ideas

• Model interpretability
