Forward pass vs backward pass vs backpropagation
As mentioned in the question, I have some issues understanding what are the differences between those terms.
From what I have understood:
Forward pass: compute the output of the network given the ...

calculating derivative of bias in backpropagation
Looking at the algorithm in wikipedia, we can implement backpropagation by calculating:
$$\delta^{L}=\left(f^{L}\right)'\cdot\nabla_{a^{L}}C$$
(where I treat $\left(f^{L}\right)'$ as an $n\times n$ ...

How to interpret integrated gradients in an NLP toxic text classification use-case?
I am trying to understand how integrated gradients work in the NLP case.
Let $F: \mathbb{R}^{n} \rightarrow[0,1]$ a function representing a neural network, $x \in \mathbb{R}^{n}$ an input and $x' \in ...

Gradient passthough in PyTorch
I need to quantize the inputs, but the method (bucketize) I need to do so is indifferentiable. I can of course detach the tensor, but then I lose the flow of gradients to earlier weights. I guess ...

Which Neural Network or Gradient Boosting framework is the simplest for Custom Loss Functions?
I need to implement a custom loss function.
The function is relatively simple:
$$-\sum \limits_{i=1}^m [O_{1,i} \cdot y_i-1] \ \cdot \ \operatorname{ReLu}(O_{1,i} \cdot \hat{y_i} - 1)$$
With $O$ being ...

What does it mean for a method to be invariant to diagonal rescaling of the gradients?
In the paper which describes Adam: a method for stochastic optimization, the author states:
The method is straightforward to implement, is computationally
efficient, has little memory requirements, ...
