Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of backpropagation in training neural networks?
  • Step 1: A neural network makes a prediction based on input data.
  • Step 2: The prediction is compared to the actual result to calculate the error (how wrong the prediction was).
  • Step 3: Backpropagation starts by taking this error and calculating how much each weight in the network contributed to that error.
  • Step 4: The algorithm then adjusts the weights to reduce the error, making the network's predictions more accurate in the future.
  • Step 5: This process is repeated many times with different data to improve the network's performance.
