But What is Backpropagation, Really? (Part 1)

Implementing a simple neural network framework from scratch

Despite doing some work and research in the AI ecosystem for some time, I didn’t truly stop to think about backpropagation and gradient updates within neural networks until recently. This article seeks to rectify that and will hopefully provide a thorough yet easy-to-follow dive into the topic by implementing a simple (yet somewhat powerful) neural network framework from scratch.
