Description
ForwardDiff (v1.0.1 as well as v0.10.38) fails to compute the gradient when the inputs are too large for the following function.
julia> using ForwardDiff
julia> foo(a) = a[1] * exp(-a[2])
foo (generic function with 1 method)
julia> ForwardDiff.gradient(foo, [1., -1e3])
2-element Vector{Float64}:
NaN
NaN
The correct gradient should be [Inf, -Inf]
. This works for values a2
small enough such that exp(a2)
is finite.
