Automatic differentiation differs from symbolic differentiation and numerical differentiation in that it uses the chain rule to decompose the derivative of a composite function into a combination of derivatives of elementary operations, and it is divided into forward mode and reverse mode.

UnverifiedAutomatic differentiation precisely applies the chain rule by decomposing a program into a sequence of elementary operations, avoiding both the rounding errors of numerical differentiation and the expression swell of symbolic differentiation.77% similarVerifiedThe mathematical foundation of the backpropagation algorithm is the chain rule in calculus, which decomposes the gradient of a composite function into the product of local gradients at each layer, propagating the error signal layer by layer from the output layer to the input layer.77% similarVerifiedAutomatic differentiation builds a computation graph by recording all tensor operations at runtime, then uses reverse-mode differentiation to automatically compute exact gradients of arbitrarily complex functions.71% similarUnverified雅可比矩阵的计算是反向传播算法的数学基础，捕获完整的一阶线性近似关系，能刻画输入空间任意方向扰动对输出的影响70% similarUnverifiedMathematical foundations such as linear algebra and calculus can be supplemented in a targeted manner when specific concepts are encountered, rather than being systematically completed from the start.70% similar
