The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Is there an implementation of The Simple Essence of Automatic Differentiation (2018)?

Maybe ad?

I’ll also link the ad package here in case someone can speak to its value over backprop https://github.com/ekmett/ad

Apologies in advance for disappointing a few people but the [ad] part in the title doesn't mean Automatic Differentiation but rather means "advertisement".
Let's Program a Calculus Student II: Turning Symbolic Differentiation Automatic
1 project | /r/haskell | 10 May 2022

Hi everybody! A couple weeks ago, I made a blog post talking about how recursion and pattern matching could be used to translate Calculus formulas into Haskell. This is a follow-up exploring how to use automatic differentiation to calculate those same derivatives as an example of cool stuff that polymorphism allows us to do. (I learned this idea from the ad package and really fell in love with how elegant it is)

What are some alternatives?

When comparing yx and ad you can also consider the following projects:

cubicbezier - Haskell library for manipulating cubic bezier curves

modular-arithmetic - A useful type for working with integers modulo some constant.

dimensions - Many-dimensional type-safe numeric ops

nimber - Finite nimber arithmetic

geos - This is a Haskell binding to Geos, the open-source geometry library

roots - 1-dimensional root-finding algorithms in Haskell

hgeometry - HGeometry is a library for computing with geometric objects in Haskell. It defines basic geometric types and primitives, and it implements some geometric data structures and algorithms. The main two focusses are: (1) Strong type safety, and (2) implementations of geometric algorithms and data structures that have good asymptotic running time guarantees.

search - infinite search in finite time with Hilbert's epsilon

gamma - Haskell implementation of gamma and incomplete gamma functions

moving-averages

gsl-random - Haskell bindings to the GSL random number generators and distribution functions

jalla - Just another library for linear algebra (Haskell)
