This presentation will explore the intersection of neural networks and differential programming in addressing critical challenges within the maritime domain. The presentation will begin with an overview of key issues facing the sector, followed by an overview of research conducted at the DLR Institute for the Protection of Maritime Infrastructures where research using differentiable methods...

136. Automatic Differentiation by Source Transformation

Laurent Hascoet (INRIA)

After a detailled introduction on AD, we focus on Source-Transformation reverse AD, a remarkably efficient way to compute gradients. One cornerstone of reverse AD is data-flow reversal, the process of restoring memory states of a computation in reverse order.

While this is by no means cheap, we will present the most efficient storage/recomputation trade-offs that permit data-flow reversal...
