On October 21, 2025, Shannon Woods, Chair of the Slang Working Group guided a deep dive into automatic differentiation in Slang. The session distills the core concepts of autodiff, emphasizing how forward and reverse modes work, how gradients propagate, and how to reason about correctness and efficiency with clear, minimal examples.
