std::pair<utility::matrix, std::pair<std::vector<std::pair<utility::matrix, utility::matrix>>, std::vector<utility::matrix>>> backward(utility::matrix dZ)Returns the gradient to be passed back (backward(dZ).first), a vector of the gradients (weights then biases) for each layer of the network (backward(dZ.second.first)), and finally a vector of the gradients for each self attention matrix (backward(dZ.second.second).
Returns a std::pair<utility::matrix, std::pair<std::vector<std::pair<utility::matrix, utility::matrix>>, std::vector<utility::matrix>>>
