05:25 < luffy1996> zoq: rcurtin: I was looking into this pull request https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/pull/1091 particularly. After going through the entire conversation I understood few things,

05:28 < luffy1996> 1) Using shared_ptr is not suitable for mlpack because it might introduce ownership issues for an object. More over since its a new feature you are a bit resistant so as to keep mlpack simple.

05:34 < luffy1996> 2) Implementing Alias layer turns out to be a tedious task. Shangtong's comment https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/pull/1091#issuecomment-325085194 give me an idea how to proceed with this. However I am still not clear is it really required to make a new alias class. I see parameters like an object whose values can be altered with pointers.

05:36 < luffy1996> I am unsure of the term fake weights used https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/pull/1091#issuecomment-325545305 . I do not get what are fake weights here.

05:37 < luffy1996> I am also commenting same in the issue. I think shangtong might also want to provide inputs. Thanks
