Backpropagation is essentially a special case of reverse-mode automatic differentiation; for a function with n input parameters and 1 scalar output, all partial derivatives can be computed with just one backward pass.

UnverifiedThe efficiency of backpropagation comes from reusing intermediate values and error terms stored during the forward pass—the core idea of dynamic programming—allowing gradients for all parameters to be obtained in a single backward pass.71% similarVerifiedThe essence of backpropagation is chain-rule differentiation, where the gradient of the loss function with respect to the parameters of each layer is propagated layer by layer from the output layer to the input layer, on the premise that the loss function must exist and be differentiable.67% similarUnverified反向传播的本质是多元复合函数链式法则的高效实现66% similarVerifiedWhen loss.backward() is called, PyTorch traverses the computation graph in reverse, using the chain rule to automatically calculate the gradient of each parameter.65% similarUnverifiedThe convolution operation itself is translation equivariant — when the input is shifted, the output shifts in the same way.64% similar
