Backpropagation Neural Networks for Signal Processing

In signal processing, Backpropagation (BP) neural networks serve as a fundamental classification tool. They find applications across diverse domains including image recognition, speech processing, and natural language processing. BP neural networks learn patterns from training datasets through iterative forward propagation and optimize network parameters using the backpropagation algorithm—a gradient descent method that minimizes classification errors by adjusting weights and biases layer by layer from output to input. Typical implementations involve defining network architecture (hidden layers, neurons), activation functions (sigmoid, ReLU), and loss functions (cross-entropy, MSE). Beyond signal classification, these networks are adaptable for regression analysis and clustering tasks. Consequently, BP neural networks have become essential components in artificial intelligence and machine learning workflows, particularly for supervised learning scenarios where labeled data is available.
