Abstract

We show that signal flow graph theory provides a simple way torelate two popular algorithms used for adapting dynamic neuralnetworks, real-time backpropagation andbackpropagation-through-time. Starting with the flow graph forreal-time backpropagation, we use a simple transposition to producea second graph. The new graph is shown to be interreciprocal withthe original and to correspond to the backpropagation-through-timealgorithm. Interreciprocity provides a theoretical argument toverify that both flow graphs implement the same overall weightupdate.
