Why is my derivation of the back-propagation equations inconsistent with Andrew Ng's slides from Coursera?
I am using the cross-entropy cost function to calculate its derivatives using different variables $Z, W$ and $b$ at different instances. Please refer image below for calculation.
As per my knowledge, ...

Why does critical points and stationary points are used interchangeably?
Consider the following paragraph from Numerical Computation of the deep learning book.
When $f'(x) = 0$, the derivative provides no information about which
direction to move. Points where $f'(x)$ = 0 ...

Why Is There The Term 1/m In Backpropagation
In backpropagation the gradients are used to update the weights using the formula
$$w = w - \alpha \frac{dL}{dw}$$
and the loss gradient w.r.t. weights is
$$\frac{dL}{dw} = \frac{dL}{dz} \frac{dz}{dw} ...

What is the correct partial derivative of $Y^c$ with respect to $A_{ij}^{kc}$?
I have a question about the Grad-CAM++ paper. I do not understand how the following equation (10) for the alphas is obtained:
$$
\alpha_{ij}^{kc} =
\frac{\frac{\partial^2 Y^c}{(\partial A_{ij}^k)^2}}
{...

Derivation of regularized cost function w.r.t activation and bias
In regularzied cost function a L2 regularization cost has been added.
Here we have already calculated cross entropy cost w.r.t $A, W$.
As mentioned in the regularization notebook (see below) in ...

Backpropagation: Chain Rule to the Third Last Layer
I'm trying to solve dLoss/dW1. The network is as in picture below with identity activation at all neurons:
Solving dLoss/dW7 is simple as there's only 1 way to output:
$Delta = Out-Y$
$Loss = abs(...
