Theano: symbolic differentiation and optimized array compilation

What is recorded here?

Compiled typed NumPy-like symbolic graphs through canonicalization, numerical-stability rewrites, specialization and CPU/GPU code generation, with symbolic differentiation; a later community report documents development.

Scientific scope

Original2010nine-author paper and2016collective-plus112named report retained as distinct source-specific sets, not112original2010authors. Inherits symbolic algebra, graph rewriting and native compilation. Performance can be slower for tiny inputs and differs by operator/hardware. This is general mathematical computing, not new discoveries in application domains. Reported performance has not been independently rerun by WRS.
