Beginner Asks: Does Loss Function Tune Detectors or Classifiers?
Electrical-Size-5002 · reddit · 2026-08-23
A beginner on Reddit asked how neural network training works: when the loss function triggers backpropagation, does it tune the low-level feature detector nodes or the high-level classifier nodes? The post explores the mechanism of weight updates within the network hierarchy, trying to understand parameter tuning from bottom-up features to top-down classification.
