Add production support for Forward- and Reverse-Mode automatic differentiation

Open AlecZorab opened this issue 10 years ago • 1 comments

Jet provides the basic machinery for forward mode AD, but the supporting apis and machinery are largely missing.

It would be useful to have robust apis available for actual production usage.

This issue is intended as both a feature request and an RFC for any potential users of AD to contribute use cases, desiderata for an api etc.

Here's an introduction to AD which @AlecZorab posted in Gitter: http://www.autodiff.org/?module=Introduction

The Wikipedia article is also possibly useful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_differentiation

I've talked to Ed Kmett a bit about his Haskell library, which might also be a good source of inspiration: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ad.
