What is Backpropagation?
Backpropagation is a fundamental algorithm used to train artificial neural networks. It works by calculating the gradient of the loss function with respect to the network's weights. This gradient is then used to adjust the weights, iteratively reducing the error between the network's predictions and the actual target values. In essence, it's a method for efficiently computing how much each weight in the network contributed to the overall error, allowing for targeted adjustments to improve performance.

Can I learn Backpropagation in Hindi?
This lesson is written in English. Once you sign in, open it in the interactive course and ask the AI tutor to explain Backpropagation in Hindi or Hinglish. The tutor answers from this lesson’s own text, so it stays on the syllabus, and it runs on your own Google, OpenAI or Anthropic key.
Is this Backpropagation tutorial for beginners?
It is lesson 126 of 150 in the free Machine Learning roadmap, in stage 31, Convolutional Neural Network. If you are new to Machine Learning, start from stage 1 and come back here in order; if you already know the earlier stages, this lesson stands on its own.
