Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Backpropagation and Accelerate
Now back to your question. I have a bit of experience with backprop and accelerate but it's neither recent nor with both of them at once. Accelerate has two layers of abstraction. There are Exp and Acc that build an AST. After compiling them with llvm-native or llvm-ptx backend you enter another layer of abstraction – functions Array -> Array -> ... -> Array. How much automatic you want AD to be? Automatic differentiation AST of Exps and Accs is going to be hard and backprop has nothing to help you here. There was a google summer of code project on this topic. As I understand, it ran short of completion.
