Abstract
We present a polynomial-time algorithm to improve the performance of computing the Hessian of a vector-valued function. The values of the Hessian derivatives are calculated by applying face, edge, or vertex elimination operations on a symmetric computational graph. Our algorithm detects symmetry in the graph by matching the vertices and edges with their corresponding pairs; thereby enabling us to identify duplicate operations. Through the detection of symmetry, the computation costs can potentially be halved by performing only one of each of these operations.
