Backpropagation and KL Projections: Exact Correspondences
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Establishes two exact correspondences between backpropagation and KL projections.
- •Provides a new perspective on backpropagation through KL geometry.
- •Offers potential for new algorithms or theoretical insights.
- •Connects backpropagation to probabilistic inference in specific network architectures.
“Backpropagation arises as the differential of a KL projection map on a delta-lifted factorization.”
