@hackage ad-delcont0.2.0.0

Reverse-mode automatic differentiation using delimited continuations (shift/reset), inspired by the papers

• F. Wang et al, Backpropagation with Continuation Callbacks : Foundations for Efficient and Expressive Differentiable Programming, NeurIPS 2018 - https://papers.nips.cc/paper/2018/file/34e157766f31db3d2099831d348a7933-Paper.pdf

• F. Wang et al, Demystifying Differentiable Programming : Shift/Reset the Penultimate Backpropagator, ICFP 2019 - https://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/rompf/papers/wang-icfp19.pdf

The package exposes a small and easily extensible user interface to automatic differentiation combinators. It also manages to be very lightweight, as it only depends on base and transformers.

To use the library, import Numeric.AD.DelCont, which also contains all documentation.
