The Foil: Capture-Avoiding Substitution With No Sharp Edges
Dougal Maclaurin, Alexey Radul, Adam Paszke
Correctly manipulating program terms in a compiler is surprisingly difficult because of the need to avoid name capture. The rapier from "Secrets of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler inl…
Decomposing reverse-mode automatic differentiation
Roy Frostig, Matthew J. Johnson, Dougal Maclaurin +2
We decompose reverse-mode automatic differentiation into (forward-mode) linearization followed by transposition. Doing so isolates the essential difference between forward- and rev…
Getting to the Point. Index Sets and Parallelism-Preserving Autodiff for Pointful Array Programming
Adam Paszke, Daniel Johnson, David Duvenaud +5
We present a novel programming language design that attempts to combine the clarity and safety of high-level functional languages with the efficiency and parallelism of low-level n…
The Base Measure Problem and its Solution
Alexey Radul, Boris Alexeev
Probabilistic programming systems generally compute with probability density functions, leaving the base measure of each such function implicit. This mostly works, but creates prob…
