Automatic Differentiation

Automatic Differentiation is a computational method that systematically evaluates the exact derivatives of a function by applying the chain rule to elementary arithmetic operations in a computational graph, distinguishing it from symbolic or numerical differentiation through its decomposition of complex functions into analytically differentiable primitives.
