Backprop as Functor: A compositional perspective on supervised learning
2019
2019 34th Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS)
Backpropagation gives a way to compute the derivative of a function via message passing on a network, significantly speeding up learning. ...
This request function allows us to construct training data for all sub-parts of a composite learning algorithm from training data for just the input and output of the composite algorithm. ...

Backprop as Functor: A compositional perspective on supervised learning
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
A supervised learning algorithm searches over a set of functions A → B parametrised by a space P to find the best approximation to some ideal function f A → B. ...
We define a category where these update rules may be composed, and show that gradient descent---with respect to a fixed step size and an error function satisfying a certain property---defines a monoidal ...
quicker to compute for lower dimensional spaces, expresses the speed up in learning provided by backpropagation. ...

Lenses and Learners
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
Lenses are a well-established structure for modelling bidirectional transformations, such as the interactions between a database and a view of it. ...
More recently, the notion of a learner has been proposed: these provide a compositional way of modelling supervised learning algorithms, and again form the morphisms of a monoidal category. ...
