| | [AI summary] The text provides an in-depth explanation of the backpropagation algorithm in neural networks. It starts by discussing the concept of how small changes in weights propagate through the network to affect the final cost, leading to the derivation of the partial derivatives required for gradient descent. The explanation includes a heuristic argument based on tracking the perturbation of weights through the network, resulting in a chain of partial derivatives. The text also touches on the historical context of how backpropagation was discovered, emphasizing the process of simplifying complex proofs and the role of using weighted inputs (z-values) as intermediate variables to streamline the derivation. Finally, it concludes with a citation and licens...

| When you have a big data set and a complicated machine learning problem, chances are that training your model takes a couple of days even on a modern GPU. However, it is well-known that the cycle of having a new idea, implementing it and then verifying it should be as quick as possible. This is to ensure that you can efficiently test out new ideas. If you need to wait for a whole week for your training run, this becomes very inefficient.
