Essentials of Backpropagation in Fully-Connected Feedforward Multilayer Percepetrons

9 minute read

Published:

For the first blog post, I think it is fitting to start with some fundamental topic. Hence, I decided to start with a fundamental topic for mahcine-learning: backpropagation. This is a fundametal mechanism that is widely used in many modern and state-of-the-art methods and deep-learning architectures. So, it is kind of important :smile:. This short view into backpropagation will go over how the mechanism works in simple Fully-Connected Feedforward Multilayer Percepetrons. Even though it remains in how it is appliyed, probably, in a future blog post, I will tackle more complex arquitectures.

The Dynamic-Loose octree : a spatial index structure towards time-efficiency

Published in Journal peer-reviewed to be published in mid-to-late Winter 2025., 2024

We join the dynamic and the loose enhancement of the octree. Contrarly to previous approaches, we maintain the benefits from both enhancements.

Studying and Improving Graph Neural Network-based Motif Estimation

Published in arXiv, 2025

We reaproximate motif estimation with GNNs to the traditional motif concept. We also propose reframing the target task to a direct multi-target significance-profile estimation.
