public interface GraphVertex
extends Serializable
```
A GraphVertex is a vertex in the computation graph. It may contain Layer, or define some arbitrary forward/backward pass behaviour based on the inputs.
The purposes of GraphVertex instances are as follows: 1. To track the (local) network connection structure: i.e., a GraphVertex knows about the vertices on the input and output sides 2. To store intermediate results (activations and epsilons) 3. To allow forward pass and backward pass to be conducted, once the intermediate results are set

```
    Get the index of the GraphVertex
  - getNumInputArrays
```
int getNumInputArrays()
