Computation Graphs and Automatic Differentiation in Deep Learning Frameworks

Modern deep-learning stacks rely on a computation graph to represent a neural network as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) whose nodes are tensor operations and whose edges carry multi-dimensional arrays (tensors). This abstraction allows the framework to reason about the entire model ahead of time, insert missing backward operations, schedule ker ...
