[GitHub] [incubator-mxnet] learning-chip opened a new issue #20561: Support JAX-like function transforms (grad, vmap), similar to functorch

learning-chip opened a new issue #20561:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/20561


   [functorch](https://github.com/facebookresearch/functorch) allows function transforms like `grad(func)(*inputs)`, borrowing from [JAX](https://github.com/google/jax). This opens new doors like:
   - High-order gradient by `grad(grad(func))`
   - Second-order quasi-Newton optimizers that needs Jacobian as input. Notably [(L-)BFGS](https://github.com/google/jax/issues/1400) and its randomized variants.
   - Better probablistic programming support [as in NumPyro](https://num.pyro.ai/en/stable/handlers.html)
   
   Happy to discuss more if there are any interests.
