Back-Propagation through Random Operations

Backward Propagation Formulation

True/False: During forward propagation, in the forward function for a layer ll you need to know what is the activation function in a layer (Sigmoid, tanh, ReLU, etc.). During back propagation, the corresponding backward function also needs to know what is the activation function for layer ll, since the gradient depends on it.

Back Propagation Illustrated Example

A neural network is trained to distinguish between images of 'apples' and 'oranges'. During a training iteration, it is shown an image of an apple but predicts 'orange' with a high degree of certainty. This results in a significant error value. What is the primary computational goal of the backpropagation step that immediately follows this prediction?

Token-Level Loss Calculation in a Backward Pass

Consider a simple neural network with one input neuron, one hidden neuron, and one output neuron. The network has a weight w1 connecting the input to the hidden neuron, and a weight w2 connecting the hidden neuron to the output neuron. After a forward pass, an error is calculated based on the network's final output. To update w1 using the backpropagation algorithm, you must calculate the partial derivative of the error with respect to w1. Which of the following components is essential for determining how much of the final error is attributable to the hidden neuron's activity?
