The best text I've read about backpropagation is in "Neural Networks: A Systematic Introduction" by Raul Rojas [1]
He uses a nice graphical approach that is easily understandable yet formal. It's been many years since I've read it to learn for an exam at university but I remember it was an enjoyable read and I wished I had more time to spend on the book.

- jbarrow 12y agoNot having read Rojas' book, I think the best text I've ever read on the subject is Michael Nielsens (in progress) "Neural Networks and Deep Learning." [1] Chapter 2 covers back propagation. It has a similarly approachable yet formal style, and I have recommended it to people with no ML experience in the past who have found it very intuitive.

- Thriptic 12y agoI agree; I am just getting into machine learning currently, and chapter 2 of this book is what made back propagation "click" for me.
