Does MXNET has auto-differentiation feature?

Question

Mxnet and Tensorflow both declare that they has auto-differentiation feature.

In Mxnet, I need to define the backward part when creating a new op(like loss function), but not in Tensorflow.

In my knowledge, auto-differentiation means I don't need to care about the backward part. So, does mxnet has auto-differentiation feature?

Yes, MXNet has autograd.
