### Backpropagation

#### Computation graphs

SGD update for each parameter

$$
w_k\gets w_k-\eta\frac{\partial e}{\partial w_k}
$$

$e$ is the error function.

#### Using the chain rule

Suppose $k=1$, $e=l(f_1(x,w_1),y)$

Example: $e=(f_1(x,w_1)-y)^2$

So $h_1=f_1(x,w_1)=w^\top_1x$, $e=l(h_1,y)=(y-h_1)^2$

$$
\frac{\partial e}{\partial w_1}=\frac{\partial e}{\partial h_1}\frac{\partial h_1}{\partial w_1}
$$

$$
\frac{\partial e}{\partial h_1}=2(h_1-y)
$$

$$
\frac{\partial h_1}{\partial w_1}=x
$$

$$
\frac{\partial e}{\partial w_1}=2(h_1-y)x
$$

For the general cases,

$$
\frac{\partial e}{\partial w_k}=\frac{\partial e}{\partial h_K}\frac{\partial h_K}{\partial h_{K-1}}\cdots\frac{\partial h_{k+2}}{\partial h_{k+1}}\frac{\partial h_{k+1}}{\partial h_k}\frac{\partial h_k}{\partial w_k}
$$

Where the upstream gradient $\frac{\partial e}{\partial h_K}$ is known, and the local gradient $\frac{\partial h_k}{\partial w_k}$ is known.

#### General backpropagation algorithm

The adding layer is the gradient distributor layer.
The multiplying layer is the gradient switcher layer.
The max operation is the gradient router layer.

Simple example: Element-wise operation (ReLU)

$f(x)=ReLU(x)=max(0,x)$

$$
\frac{\partial z}{\partial x}=\begin{pmatrix}
\frac{\partial z_1}{\partial x_1} & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\
0 & \frac{\partial z_2}{\partial x_2} & \cdots & 0 \\
\vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\
0 & 0 & \cdots & \frac{\partial z_n}{\partial x_n}
\end{pmatrix}
$$

Where $\frac{\partial z_i}{\partial x_j}=1$ if $i=j$ and $z_i>0$, otherwise $\frac{\partial z_i}{\partial x_j}=0$.

When $\forall x_i<0$ then $\frac{\partial z}{\partial x}=0$ (dead ReLU)

## Convolutional Neural Networks

### Basic Convolutional layer

#### Flatten layer

Fully connected layer, operate on vectorized image.

With the multi-layer perceptron, the neural network trying to fit the templates.

#### Convolutional layer

Limit the receptive fields of units, tiles them over the input image, and share the weights.

Equivalent to sliding the learned filter over the image , computing dot products at each location.

![Convolutional layer](https://notenextra.trance-0.com/CSE559A/Convolutional_layer.png)

Padding: Add a border of zeros around the image. (higher padding, larger output size)

Stride: The step size of the filter. (higher stride, smaller output size)

### Variants 1x1 convolutions, depthwise convolutions

### Backward pass
