JVET-AN0197 AHG14: The extension of SADL library [L. Qin, W. Zhang, N. Fu, Z. Chen (Wuhan Univ.)]

This contribution presents the extensions in the Small AdHoc Deep Learning (SADL) library from Wuhan University. These extensions include four new layers: Gather, GatherElements, Floor, and Sub.

It was asked which networks would need the newly proposed layers? Future versions of DRF may be using Gather and Floor.

Proponents are asked to further study and issue merge requests when the new layers are practically needed in the NNVC exploration. It may be too much burden to implement all possible Pytorch layers to SADL. The software coordinator is asked to set priorities of merge requests.
