UnverifiedBackpropagation was formally popularized by Rumelhart, Hinton, and others in 1986; its essence is using the chain rule to propagate the error from the output layer backward through each layer.63% similarVerifiedIn 1986, Rumelhart and colleagues re-popularized the backpropagation algorithm.61% similarVerifiedThe backpropagation algorithm was formally popularized by Rumelhart, Hinton, and others in 1986; its theoretical form had already been derived by Seppo Linnainmaa as early as 1970, and Werbos had applied it to neural networks in his 1974 doctoral dissertation.61% similarVerifiedThe backpropagation algorithm was systematized by Rumelhart, Hinton, and others in a paper published in Nature in 1986.59% similarUnverifiedIn 1986, Rumelhart, Hinton, and Williams published the paper "Learning representations by back-propagating errors" in the journal Nature.56% similar
