A haskell implementation is here: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ad Here's a paper with an accompanying talk for a different haskell implementation: http://conal.net/papers/essence-of-ad/ Here's another implementation using continuation passing style, this time in Scala with an accompanying paper: https://github.com/feiwang3311/Lantern/

This is really interesting: http://conal.net/papers/essence-of-ad/ but I don't yet understand it all... See also: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2744973/is-there-any-working-implementation-of-reverse-mode-automatic-differentiation-fo

I was thinking about something more along the lines of: https://skillsmatter.com/skillscasts/12818-deep-learning-programming-with-a-difference https://github.com/noelwelsh/fdl
