It allows expressing complex computations by composing elementary one s in creative ways and removes the burden of computing their derivatives b y hand. More recently\, differentiation of optimization problem solutions has attracted widespread attention with applications such as optimization layers\, and in bi-level problems such as hyper-parameter optimization and meta-learning. However\, so far\, implicit differentiation remained diffi cult to use for practitioners\, as it often required case-by-case tedious mathematical derivations and implementations. In this paper\, we propose a unified\, efficient and modular approach for implicit differentiation of optimization problems. In our approach\, the user defines directly in Pyth on a function F capturing the optimality conditions of the problem to be d ifferentiated. Once this is done\, we leverage autodiff of F and implicit differentiation to automatically differentiate the optimization problem. O ur approach thus combines the benefits of implicit differentiation and aut odiff. It is efficient as it can be added on top of any state-of-the-art s olver and modular as the optimality condition specification is decoupled f rom the implicit differentiation mechanism. We show that seemingly simple principles allow to recover many exiting implicit differentiation methods and create new ones easily. We demonstrate the ease of formulating and sol ving bi-level optimization problems using our framework. We also showcase an application to the sensitivity analysis of molecular dynamics..\n\n \n \n \n\nZoom : https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85327310903?pwd=SlhEak53S2xrNkVYKz l4YUd5KzBudz09\n\nMeeting ID: 853 2731 0903 \n\nPasscode: 383854\n DTSTART:20220207T210000Z DTEND:20220207T220000Z SUMMARY:Fabian Pedregosa (Google) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/fabian-pedregosa-google-3 37389 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
