Paper TL;DR : We introduce a differentiable approach to search for phylogenetic trees. We optimize the tree and ancestral sequences to reduce the total evolutionary steps (parsimony cost).

Update 2023.09.19 : Eric J. Ma has written a very detailed article on our paper’s key contribution : making the trees and sequences differentiable. You can read ithere . It does a great job at explaining our method.
