You will then learn how to calculate derivatives using a family of algorithms known as Automatic Differentiation and how to encapsulate these algorithms in a familiar monadic interface. From this, you will be able to build a toy deep learning system in Scala. Finally, we will look at the future of deep learning frameworks and the rise of 'differentiable programming'.

Deep Learning: Programming with a Difference
Noel Welsh
Noel has been interested in computers for a long time, particularly the leverage that computers give to people. He followed this interest to a PhD in machine learning, focusing on Bayesian nonparametrics and reinforcement learning. He still finds machine learning very interesting, but right now is more involved with programming and programming languages. A large part of his work is helping people become more effective with functional programming.
