Backpropagation

An algorithm used for training neural networks by calculating gradients of the loss function.

Expanded definition

Backpropagation involves a forward pass where predictions are made, followed by a backward pass where gradients are computed. This method updates the weights of the neural network to minimize the error, allowing the model to learn from its mistakes. It is a cornerstone of modern machine learning.
