You should keep reading. Backprop is still the best, and pretty much the only way to train neural nets (deep or not). Other ways exist (e.g. weight perturbation), but no one uses them.
EDIT: I have to clarify: backprop is just one half of the training algorithm, you also gradient descent, and there are many variants of it.
- mcv 10y agoMan, I've been out of Neural Nets a long time. I studied them back in the early 1990s. Perceptrons and backpropagation. Didn't really keep up with the state of the art, I'm afraid. Maybe I should catch up.
