             Summary: As a user, I would like to be able to initialize parameter of SymbolBlock
                 Key: MXNET-569
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MXNET-569
             Project: Apache MXNet
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Lin Yuan


It looks like SymbolBlock will initializing all the parameters using the initializer given in the block.initialize() function, including bias, which cannot be initialized by Xavier.

Alought that [post|https://discuss.mxnet.io/t/initializing-parameters-of-symbolblock/1213] suggests a solution, and in addition, I think we should try to initialize the parameters if it was given in the symbol/json file.

e.g.
{{bias = mx.sym.Variable(name='conv_bias', shape=(num_filter,), init=mx.init.Zero())}}
or

{{{ "op": "null", "name": "conv_bias", "attrs": \{ "__init__": "[\"zero\", {}]", "__shape__": "(64,)" }, "inputs": [] }}}
