Researchers have developed a novel compiler that translates a subset of the Scheme programming language into differentiable computation graphs. This system enables differentiable meta-circular interpretation (DMCI), allowing gradients to be calculated for continuous constants embedded within programs executed by a compiled Scheme interpreter. The approach allows new programs to inherit differentiability without recompilation, supporting features like closures and recursion. DMCI has been demonstrated to be effective in co-searching programs and parameters for tasks such as predicting battery capacity fade and solving high-dimensional inverse problems, extending symbolic regression to executable, stateful programs.
