BPTT — Backpropagation Through Time

Fact

A way to train sequence models by unrolling time and sending errors backward.

In Plain Words

BPTT is like replaying a messy group chat after a blowup. The last emoji gets blamed, but the drama started ten messages ago.

It trains AI for ordered data, like text or speech. It traces a later mistake back to earlier steps.
