How does Keras handle backpropagation internally?
Updated May 16, 2026
Short answer
Backpropagation computes gradients of loss w.r.t. weights using automatic differentiation.
Deep explanation
TensorFlow builds a computation graph during forward pass. GradientTape records operations and applies chain rule backward through the graph to compute gradients for each trainable variable.
