Reverse Faà di Bruno's Formula for Cartesian Reverse Differential Categories

2025-09-25 · Aaron Biggin, Jean-Simon Pacaud Lemay arxiv

Reverse differentiation is an essential operation for automatic differentiation. Cartesian reverse differential categories axiomatize reverse differentiation in a categorical framework, where one of the primary axioms is the reverse chain rule, which is the formula that expresses the reverse derivative of a composition. Here, we present the reverse differential analogue of Faa di Bruno's Formula, which gives a higher-order reverse chain rule in a Cartesian reverse differential category. To properly do so, we also define partial reverse derivatives and higher-order reverse derivatives in a Cartesian reverse differential category.

Building on the observation that reverse-mode automatic differentiation (AD) -- a generalisation of backpropagation -- can naturally be expressed as pullbacks of differential 1-forms, we design a simple higher-order prog…

We enhance the calculus of string diagrams for monoidal categories with hierarchical features in order to capture closed monoidal (and cartesian closed) structure. Using this new syntax we formulate an automatic differen…
