&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Manually differentiated functions support. The user provides a primitive function that evaluates its value and gradient. Then he/she can compose more complex functions using the provided function, and the library will be able to automatically differentiate and evaluate it.&lt;/li&gt;
