% Parameters:

%% STEP 1a: Forward Propagation
%  In this step you will forward propagate the input through the
%  convolutional and subsampling (mean pooling) layers.  You will then use
%  the responses from the convolution and pooling layer as the input to a
%  standard softmax layer.

%% Convolutional Layer
%  For each image and each filter, convolve the image with the filter, add
%  the bias and apply the sigmoid nonlinearity.  Then subsample the 
%  convolved activations with mean pooling.  Store the results of the
%  convolution in activations and the results of the pooling in
%  activationsPooled.  You will need to save the convolved activations for
%  backpropagation.
convDim = imageDim-filterDim+1; % dimension of convolved output
outputDim = (convDim)/poolDim; % dimension of subsampled output

% convDim x convDim x numFilters x numImages tensor for storing activations
activations = zeros(convDim,convDim,numFilters,numImages);

% outputDim x outputDim x numFilters x numImages tensor for storing
% subsampled activations
activationsPooled = zeros(outputDim,outputDim,numFilters,numImages);

%%% YOUR CODE HERE %%%

% Reshape activations into 2-d matrix, hiddenSize x numImages,
% for Softmax layer
activationsPooled = reshape(activationsPooled,[],numImages);

%% Softmax Layer
%  Forward propagate the pooled activations calculated above into a
%  standard softmax layer. For your convenience we have reshaped
%  activationPooled into a hiddenSize x numImages matrix.  Store the
%  results in probs.

% numClasses x numImages for storing probability that each image belongs to
% each class.
probs = zeros(numClasses,numImages);

%%% YOUR CODE HERE %%%

%%======================================================================
%% STEP 1b: Calculate Cost
%  In this step you will use the labels given as input and the probs
%  calculate above to evaluate the cross entropy objective.  Store your
%  results in cost.

cost = 0; % save objective into cost

%%% YOUR CODE HERE %%%

% Makes predictions given probs and returns without backproagating errors.
if pred
    [~,preds] = max(probs,[],1);
    preds = preds';
    grad = 0;
    return;
end;

%%======================================================================
%% STEP 1c: Backpropagation
%  Backpropagate errors through the softmax and convolutional/subsampling
%  layers.  Store the errors for the next step to calculate the gradient.
%  Backpropagating the error w.r.t the softmax layer is as usual.  To
%  backpropagate through the pooling layer, you will need to upsample the
%  error with respect to the pooling layer for each filter and each image.  
%  Use the kron function and a matrix of ones to do this upsampling 
%  quickly.

%%% YOUR CODE HERE %%%

%%======================================================================
%% STEP 1d: Gradient Calculation
%  After backpropagating the errors above, we can use them to calculate the
%  gradient with respect to all the parameters.  The gradient w.r.t the
%  softmax layer is calculated as usual.  To calculate the gradient w.r.t.
%  a filter in the convolutional layer, convolve the backpropagated error
%  for that filter with each image and aggregate over images.

%% Unroll gradient into grad vector for minFunc
grad = [Wc_grad(:) ; Wd_grad(:) ; bc_grad(:) ; bd_grad(:)];
