@didiercrunch do you have an example of using plotly with clojupyter.misc.display somewhere? would it mean calling their api and using the resulting html?

didiercrunch15:11:48

@elise_huard Not yet, I will work on it this weekend

@didiercrunch cool, no pressure - just wondered if you'd tried it since good graphs is the main missing element :thumbsup:

So I’ve been trying to educate myself of autograd. I was looking at this package and can’t figure out something

gigasquid23:11:02

It says it can handle functions with ifs and conditionals

gigasquid23:11:35

..Autograd doesn't have to know about any ifs, branches, loops or recursion that were used to decide which operations were called. To compute the gradient of a particular input, one only needs to know which continuous transforms were applied to that particular input, not which other transforms might have been applied. Since Autograd keeps track of the relevant operations on each function call separately, it's not a problem that all the Python control flow operations are invisible to Autograd. In fact, it greatly simplifies the implementation.

If it’s working on matrixes, does this mean it keeps track of the function for each matrix value?

gigasquid23:11:32

Can anyone explain it to me?

gigasquid23:11:04

I’m sure I’m missing someting

gigasquid23:11:32

I just don’t understand how autodiff would handle conditionals in general
