Machine Learning: Backpropagation and Gradient Descent

Objective: Understand the process of training a neural network using backpropagation and
gradient descent.

Lesson:

Backpropagation is a key algorithm used for training neural networks by minimizing the error
between the predicted output and the actual target.

1. Forward Pass:
o Input data is passed through the network layers to produce an output.
o The output is compared with the target to compute the loss (error) using a loss
function (e.g., mean squared error).
2. Backward Pass (Backpropagation):
o The gradient of the loss function is computed with respect to each weight in the
network.
o This is done using the chain rule of derivatives to propagate the error backward
through the network.
3. Gradient Descent:
o The weights are updated using gradient descent to minimize the loss:

w=w−η∂L∂ww = w - \eta \frac{\partial L}{\partial w}w=w−η∂w∂L

Where:

o www is the weight,


o η\etaη is the learning rate,
o ∂L∂w\frac{\partial L}{\partial w}∂w∂L is the gradient of the loss function with
respect to the weight.
4. Training Process:
o This process is repeated for many iterations (epochs), gradually adjusting the
weights to minimize the loss function, resulting in a trained neural network.
