Hi @barry-jin any updates on this pr?

I'm switching to cudnn8 in docker. Also will try to update website build workflow in #1558 . Currently, the job in workflow will not be marked as failed if the notebook compilation step fails. Check the log here https://github.com/dmlc/gluon-nlp/runs/2366035716?check_suite_focus=true

v0.x CI will be fixed in #1558
