Exam 1z0-1122-26 Topic 1 Question 44 Discussion

Backpropagation is the algorithm primarily used for adjusting the weights of connections between neurons during the training of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). It is a supervised learning algorithm that calculates the gradient of the loss function with respect to each weight by applying the chain rule, propagating the error backward from the output layer to the input layer. This process updates the weights to minimize the error, thus improving the model ' s accuracy over time.
* Gradient Descent is closely related as it is the optimization algorithm used to adjust the weights based on the gradients computed by backpropagation, but backpropagation is the specific method used to calculate these gradients.
