Like, I'm pretty sure writing a generic "differential function" is one of the first things you teach to undergrads taking a LISP class - isn't "differential programming" as mentioned here just the same concept baked in PLs ?
- brzozowski 6y agoIt has been rebranded a number of times, from automatic differentiation to algorithmic differentiation to differentiable programming. Takeo Imai wrote a blog post about the origins and history of the term and its modern usage: https://bonotake.github.io/deep%20learning%20and%20cs/2019/08/02/origin-of-differentiable-programming.html https://bonotake.github.io/deep%20learning%20and%20cs/2019/0...
