justanotheruser opened a new issue #11111: Custom linear regression diverges on simplest example, but built-in LinearRegression does not 
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/11111
 
 
   I'm trying to implement some custom loss layer, but I found that I can't make work even simplest custom linear regression layer with simplest model. I want to make conv net with one layer that accepts RGB image (entirely blue, green or red) and outputs it. 
   This is my custom operator code:
   ```
   class Colors(mx.operator.CustomOp):
       def forward(self, is_train, req, in_data, out_data, aux):
          self.assign(out_data[0], req[0], in_data[0])
      def backward(self, req, out_grad, in_data, out_data, in_grad, aux):
         delta_mx = in_data[1] - out_data[0]
         self.assign(in_grad[0], req[0], delta_mx)
   
   @mx.operator.register("colors")
   class ColorsProp(mx.operator.CustomOpProp):
       def __init__(self, width, height):
           super(ColorsProp, self).__init__(need_top_grad=False)
           self.width = int(width)
           self.height = int(height)
   
       def list_arguments(self):
           return ['data', 'color']
   
       def list_outputs(self):
           return ['output']
   
       def infer_shape(self, in_shape):
           output_shape = (in_shape[0][0], 3, self.width, self.height)
           return in_shape, [output_shape], []
   
       def create_operator(self, ctx, shapes, dtypes):
           return Colors()
   ```
   This is my model:
   ```
   sym = mx.sym.Variable('data')
   sym = mx.sym.Convolution(sym, kernel=(1, 1), stride=(1, 1), num_filter=3)
    _, _, width, height = sym.infer_shape(data=yolo_settings.input_shape)[1][0]
   sym = mx.symbol.Custom(data=sym, name='colors', op_type='colors', width=width, height=height)
   #lbl = mx.sym.Variable('colors_color')
   #sym = mx.sym.LinearRegressionOutput(sym, label=lbl)
   ```
   When I replace last line with commented out lines, SGD converges. With custom loss output of conv layer becomes hugely negative VERY fast, and after a few iterations it becomes full of nan's. What am I doing wrong?
