Is there a recommended way to pass additional information to the decoder?

[grudloff]

I am working with a use case where I have relevant information about each group (they are cliend_ids and I have info about location, age, etc). Is there a recommended way to pass this information to the decoder?

I think the most straightforward way would be to create a new class that inherits from the model I am using (RecurrentNetwork in my case), fetch this information based on the group, and pass it together with the rest to the network.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
