Backprop :-

i = upper neuron
j= lower neuron

calc gradient of weight wrt loss:

dw[i,j]/dl = delta weights wrt loss = Lrate * Err[i] * Act[j]

(Option here to include Momentum and Decay)

calculate gradient of loss wrt weight:

Err[j] = dl/dw = sum[Err[i]*Wgt[i,j]] wrt Act[j] <-- Chain rule

e.g for sigmoid dl/dw = Act*(1-Act) * Sum[Wgt*Err]

Err[j] = Act[j]*(1-Act[j]) * sum[Err[i]*Wgt[i,j]]

Output Err = Target - Output

Calculate Loss :-

Types of Loss Function

Loss function =

MSE 1/n sum(sqrd(Target-Output))

MAE 1/n * Sum[|Target-Output|]

Cross Entropy Y:[0,1] for outputs that are between 0 or 1 or are either 0 or 1

CE Loss = 1/n * Sum[ -(Y*log(P) + (1-Y) * log(1-P)


Follow these 3 steps -:-

1. Calculate Loss (Using Loss function)

2. Feedback Error wrt weight (Chain rule) (dl/dw)

3. Change weights wrt loss (dw/dl)

Done!

(It is not as hard as they are making it out to be.)
