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.

Precongruences and Parametrized Coinduction for Logics for Behavioral Equivalence

Authors: David Sprunger and Lawrence S. Moss

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 72, 7th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2017)

Abstract
We present a new proof system for equality of terms which present elements of the final coalgebra of a finitary set functor. This is most important when the functor is finitary, and we improve on logical systems which have already been proposed in several papers. Our contributions here are (1) a new logical rule which makes for proofs which are somewhat easier to find, and (2) a soundness/completeness theorem which works for all finitary functors, in particular removing a weak pullback preservation requirement that had been used previously. Our work is based on properties of precongruence relations and also on a new parametrized coinduction principle.
