* Add debug string for Python ProtoBuf

and Rename `Sync` to `Flush`

* Add check of ProtoBuf initialization

* Update VarDesc from design doc

* Fix GCC compile

* Fix unittest

* Adding Hard Sigmoid Activation

* Adding a comment for slope to be only positive

* Fixing grammatical mistake in comment

* add adam op

moment1_out = beta1 * moment1 + (1 − beta1) * grad
moment2_out = beta2 * moment2 + (1 − beta2) * grad * grad
moment1_hat =  moment1_out / (1 - beta1^t)
moment2_hat =  moment2_out / (1 - beta2^t)
param_out = param - learning_rate * moment1_hat / (sqrt(moment2_hat) +
epsilon)

* fix moment 2

* Adding the Adam optimization operator

* Adding more tests for Adam op

* Implementing the DecayedAdagrad optimizer step operator

* implementing DecayedAdagrad operator

* small fix

* Implemented the hardShrink activation

* Fixing the unit test

* Add numerically-stable logsigmoid activation

* Add softshrink operator

* Adjust relative tolerance for grad-check

* Address review comments

* conv_shift_op: initial implementation using Eigen

Limitations:
- both gradient outputs must be specified and are always computed
- explicit for loops => could be optimized in various ways
  (e.g., different memory layout)

* conv shift - gradient fixes

fix case when not all output gradients desired

* conv shift: minor cleanup

* conv shift - more minor cleanup

* conv shift: clean up & initial GPU implementation

* fix rebase issue
