Functorial String Diagrams for Reverse-Mode Automatic Differentiation

Authors: Mario Alvarez-Picallo, Dan Ghica, David Sprunger, and Fabio Zanasi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 252, 31st EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2023)


Abstract
We formulate a reverse-mode automatic differentiation (RAD) algorithm for (applied) simply typed lambda calculus in the style of Pearlmutter and Siskind [Barak A. Pearlmutter and Jeffrey Mark Siskind, 2008], using the graphical formalism of string diagrams. Thanks to string diagram rewriting, we are able to formally prove for the first time the soundness of such an algorithm. Our approach requires developing a calculus of string diagrams with hierarchical features in the spirit of functorial boxes, in order to model closed monoidal (and cartesian closed) structure. To give an efficient yet principled implementation of the RAD algorithm, we use foliations of our hierarchical string diagrams.

Rewriting for Monoidal Closed Categories

Authors: Mario Alvarez-Picallo, Dan Ghica, David Sprunger, and Fabio Zanasi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 228, 7th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2022)


Abstract
This paper develops a formal string diagram language for monoidal closed categories. Previous work has shown that string diagrams for freely generated symmetric monoidal categories can be viewed as hypergraphs with interfaces, and the axioms of these categories can be realized by rewriting systems. This work proposes hierarchical hypergraphs as a suitable formalization of string diagrams for monoidal closed categories. We then show double pushout rewriting captures the axioms of these closed categories.

The Difference λ-Calculus: A Language for Difference Categories

Authors: Mario Alvarez-Picallo and C.-H. Luke Ong

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 167, 5th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2020)


Abstract
Cartesian difference categories are a recent generalisation of Cartesian differential categories which introduce a notion of "infinitesimal" arrows satisfying an analogue of the Kock-Lawvere axiom, with the axioms of a Cartesian differential category being satisfied only "up to an infinitesimal perturbation". In this work, we construct a simply-typed calculus in the spirit of the differential λ-calculus equipped with syntactic "infinitesimals" and show how its models correspond to difference λ-categories, a family of Cartesian difference categories equipped with suitably well-behaved exponentials.
