Direct Feedback Alignment

Experiments with Direct Feedback Alignment (https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.01596) and comparison to Backpropagation.

Contents

Small DNN framework with:

• conv-, fully-connected-, dropout- and max-pool-layers
• implementation of backward pass with dfa and backpropagation
• customizable loss-function and optimizers (e.g. gd, momentum)
