Based on a class of associative algebras with zero-divisors which are called real-like algebras by us, we introduce a way of defining automatic differentiation and present different ways of doing automatic differentiation to compute the first, the second and the third derivatives of a function exactly and simultaneously.

Many engineering problems involve learning hidden dynamics from indirect observations, where the physical processes are described by systems of partial differential equations (PDE). Gradient-based optimization methods are considered scalable and effi cient to learn hidden dynamics. However, one of the most time-consuming and error-prone tasks is to derive and implement the gradients, especially in systems of PDEs where gradients from different systems must be correctly integrated together. To that purpose, we present a novel technique, called intelligent automatic differentiation (IAD), to leverage the modern machine learning tool $texttt{TensorFlow}$ for computing gradients automatically and conducting optimization efficiently. Moreover, IAD allows us to integrate specially designed state adjoint method codes to achieve better performance. Numerical tests demonstrate the feasibility of IAD for learning hidden dynamics in complicated systems of PDEs; additionally, by incorporating custom built state adjoint method codes in IAD, we significantly accelerate the forward and inverse simulation.
In this note, we report the back propagation formula for complex valued singular value decompositions (SVD). This formula is an important ingredient for a complete automatic differentiation(AD) infrastructure in terms of complex numbers, and it is al so the key to understand and utilize AD in tensor networks.
The successes of deep learning, variational inference, and many other fields have been aided by specialized implementations of reverse-mode automatic differentiation (AD) to compute gradients of mega-dimensional objectives. The AD techniques underlyi ng these tools were designed to compute exact gradients to numerical precision, but modern machine learning models are almost always trained with stochastic gradient descent. Why spend computation and memory on exact (minibatch) gradients only to use them for stochastic optimization? We develop a general framework and approach for randomized automatic differentiation (RAD), which can allow unbiased gradient estimates to be computed with reduced memory in return for variance. We examine limitations of the general approach, and argue that we must leverage problem specific structure to realize benefits. We develop RAD techniques for a variety of simple neural network architectures, and show that for a fixed memory budget, RAD converges in fewer iterations than using a small batch size for feedforward networks, and in a similar number for recurrent networks. We also show that RAD can be applied to scientific computing, and use it to develop a low-memory stochastic gradient method for optimizing the control parameters of a linear reaction-diffusion PDE representing a fission reactor.

This position paper presents a comparative study of co-occurrences. Some similarities and differences in the definition exist depending on the research domain (e.g. linguistics, NLP, computer science). This paper discusses these points, and deals wit h the methodological aspects in order to identify co-occurrences in a multidisciplinary paradigm.
In mathematics and computer algebra, automatic differentiation (AD) is a set of techniques to evaluate the derivative of a function specified by a computer program. AD exploits the fact that every computer program, no matter how complicated, executes a sequence of elementary arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc.), elementary functions (exp, log, sin, cos, etc.) and control flow statements. AD takes source code of a function as input and produces source code of the derived function. By applying the chain rule repeatedly to these operations, derivatives of arbitrary order can be computed automatically, accurately to working precision, and using at most a small constant factor more arithmetic operations than the original program. This paper presents AD techniques available in ROOT, supported by Cling, to produce derivatives of arbitrary C/C++ functions through implementing source code transformation and employing the chain rule of differential calculus in both forward mode and reverse mode. We explain its current integration for gradient computation in TFormula. We demonstrate the correctness and performance improvements in ROOTs fitting algorithms.
