How do you derive backpropagation?
Backpropagation is an algorithm used to train neural networks, used along with an optimization routine such as gradient descent. Gradient descent requires access to the gradient of the loss function with respect to all the weights in the network to perform a weight update, in order to minimize the loss function.
What propagates backward in backpropagation algorithm?
The algorithm is used to effectively train a neural network through a method called chain rule. In simple terms, after each forward pass through a network, backpropagation performs a backward pass while adjusting the model’s parameters (weights and biases).
Which is an activation function of the backpropagation equation?
Common activation functions are e.g. ReLU, leaky ReLU, tanh, sigmoid, Swish etc. As indicated by the superscript each layer could theoretically have a different activation function. Deriving the backpropagation equations without an intuition of what is being backpropagated is of little use.

How to derive the backpropagation equations from scratch?
In this short series of two posts, we will derive from scratch the three famous backpropagation equations for fully-connected (dense) layers: All following explanations assume we are feeding only one training sample to the network. How to extend the formulas to a mini-batch will be explained at the end of this post.
How is the backpropagation of a neural network done?
Let us shortly summarize the mechanism of backpropagation: The process of training a neural network consists of minimizing the loss function by adapting the weights and biases of the network. The adaption is done using gradient descent or variants of it.
