Here, we propose a hardware implementation of the backpropagation algorithm that progressively updates each layer using in situ stochastic gradient descent, avoiding this storage requirement.

The algorithm works by calculating the gradient of the loss function with respect to the weights, which is used to update the weights using gradient descent. One of the most significant contributions ...

Obtaining the gradient of what's known as the loss function is an essential step to establish the backpropagation algorithm developed by University of Michigan researchers to train a material ...

In this work, a gradient method with momentum for BP neural networks is considered. The momentum coefficient is chosen in an adaptive manner to accelerate and stabilize the learning procedure of the ...

In early December, dozens of alternatives to traditional backpropagation were proposed during a workshop at the NeurIPS 2020 conference, which took place virtually. Some leveraged hardware like ...

Computer Scientists Discover Limits of Major Research Algorithm The most widely used technique for finding the largest or smallest values of a math function turns out to be a fundamentally difficult ...

Mini Batch Gradient Descent is an algorithm that helps to speed up learning while dealing with a large dataset. Instead of updating the weight parameters after assessing the entire dataset, Mini ...

Resilient back propagation (Rprop), an algorithm that can be used to train a neural network, is similar to the more common (regular) back-propagation. But it has two main advantages over back ...
