I am excited to announce that I have successfully defended my PhD and have published my PhD thesis on “Learning with Differentiable Algorithms”. 🎉

arxiv.org/abs/2209.00616

In the thesis, I explore how we can make discrete structures like algorithms differentiable. [1/13] Image By making algorithms differentiable, we can integrate them end-to-end into neural network machine learning architectures. For example, we can continuously relax sorting (github.com/Felix-Petersen…) for learning to rank. [2/13]
