Automatic differentiation, a tale of two languages
Guillaume Dalle
This talk is an introduction to automatic differentiation with a focus on the Python and Julia ecosystems. We will first explain what autodiff is and how it works, then describe its various implementations in both languages. Our goal is to give everyone a good understanding of how computer code can be differentiated, while also discussing the trade-offs this differentiability entails.
