Constructing the wrapper

f(x, θ) = 0.5 * sum(abs2, x - θ)  # minimizing the squared distance...
f_grad1(x, θ) = x - θ
lmo = UnitSimplexOracle(1.0)  # ... to the probability simplex
dfw = DiffFW(f, f_grad1, lmo);  # ... is equivalent to a simplex projection

Calling the wrapper

θ = rand(10)

Differentiating the wrapper

J1 = Zygote.jacobian(_θ -> dfw(_θ; frank_wolfe_kwargs), θ)[1]
J1_true = Zygote.jacobian(simplex_projection, θ)[1]
@test J1 ≈ J1_true atol = 1e-3
Test Passed
J2 = ForwardDiff.jacobian(_θ -> dfw(_θ; frank_wolfe_kwargs), θ)
J2_true = ForwardDiff.jacobian(simplex_projection, θ)
@test J2 ≈ J2_true atol = 1e-3
Test Passed
