Why Backprop Goes Backward Backprogation is an algorithm that computes the gradient of a neural network, but it may not be obvious why the algorithm uses a backward pass. The answer allows us to reconstruct backprop from first principles. The usual explanation of backpropagation (Rumelhart et al., 1986), the algorithm used to train neural networks, is that it is propagating errors for each node ba...
