How do you back propagate errors in a neural network?
How do you back propagate errors in a neural network?
I have been building a neural network from scratch to categorize digits from the MNIST data set. So far I have built a multi-layer network and have applied the sigmoid function for the activations during forward propagation. All the weights have been initially initialized in the range -1 <= weight <= 1.
When backpropagating the error using gradient descent, I have calculated the derivative of sigmoid using the output activations:
sigmoidDerivatives = outputActivations .* (1 - outputActivations)
Then I have calculated my output errors as:
outputError = (outputActivations- labels) .* sigmoidDerivatives.
Am I going about calculating the output errors correctly? How, and when should the weights be updated? Do the weights get updated with every new iteration (or new image inputted as training)? Do the weights get updated after all iterations are completed (one epoch) using a mean average over all the errors?
Any help would be appreciated. Project is being completed in Matlab.
