Sigmoid-softmax network gradients

For hidden activations $h_j=\sigma (b_j+{\sum }_r{W}_{jr}{x}_r)$ and class probabilities $p_c={\mathrm{softmax}}_c(a+Vh)$, a one-hot label $t$ has log-likelihood $\ell ={\sum }_c{t}_c\log p_c$. Put ${\delta }_c=t_c-p_c$ and ${\Delta }_j=h_j(1-h_j){\sum }_c{V}_{cj}{\delta }_c$. ThenThese follow from the chain rule and give single-observation stochastic gradient descent updates for the negative log-likelihood.
