Neural Network Architecture
Explore the concepts of backpropagation, loss functions, and non-linearities, and examine the roles of different layers.
Backpropagation
The backpropagation algorithm is a special case of reverse-mode automatic differentiation. In its basic modern version, the backpropagation algorithm has become the standard for training neural networks, possibly due to its underlying simplicity and relative power.
Inspired by the work of Donal Hebb and the so-called Hebb rule, Rosenblatt developed the idea of a perceptron that was based on the formation and changes of synapses between neurons, where the output of a neuron will be modeled as a weighted sum based on its incoming signals.
