Hi,

there might be an error in the step 4 of the most internal loop of slide 9 lecture 9:

w_sq ← w_sq + ηΔw_sq

should be:

w_sq ← w_sq - ηΔw_sq

because we want to go to the opposite direction of the derivative

Hi!
I might be wrong but i think the slide is correct.
Δw_sq is equal to the following expression:
delta_w
As you can see there is a minus at the beginning of the expression. 
So w_sq ← w_sq - η(-Δw_sq) is equal to w_sq ← w_sq + ηΔw_sq

Hi,
thanks for the response.
I'm not convinced, since the minus comes out from the derivation process, so Δw_sq, which is the derivative, contains the minus already.
-Δw_sq is not the derivative anymore, it is the opposite (we are changing its sign).
