Incubator-mxnet: Autograd in R-package
Has there been an attempt to add autograd functionnalities into the R-package?
I couldn't find anything, other than the internal.backward NDArray functions that are exported.
I'm willing to help add the functionnalities if a hint of where to start from is provided. Thanks!

@hetong007 do you have an answer to that question or can provide a hint to @jeremiedb ?
Thanks!
I think the Answer to the question is "no", if that's the case and that answers the Question part of the issue, can you also please remove the "Question" tag. thanks!

So far there's no augotrad in R-package. @anirudhacharya Do you have any roadmap/plan to share here?

@jeremiedb I'm not familiar with R but you can look at mxnet/autograd.py to see how it's implemented in python. The C_APIs are shared. Do you have any specific question regarding this? I feel that if we can implement and enable basic tests like the ones in python/unittest/test_autograd.py in R, that will be a significant step forward for R.

@jeremiedb currently, you can use tensorflow autograd in R.
