Multi–Layer Perceptron & Back-propagation algorithm

As for Multi-Layer Perceptron, it can be taken as a combination of many Linear Classifications, using many hyper plane to split the space and separate the dataset, to get a better classification, also MLP can be used in regression and Dimension reduce. In this blog, we’ll take about the MLP in classification, how to calculate the neutron network and show the main code.

As for a MLP with 2-layer, the following picture show the combination of 2 neutron (or two hyper plane), simplify the neutron as the picture bellow and define the functions:

The Back-propagation algorithm

It is an iterative algorithm, repeating the following steps

1. Pick a pair (X, z∗) randomly from the training set

2. Forward pass

3. Backward pass

 

In step2: Forward Pass we calculate Y, Y’, z and z’

In step2: Backward Pass we calculate update W, wn, V, vn, Error
