📚Deep learning and neural networks heavily rely on gradient descent for optimization.
What is gradient descent?
—Gradient descent is an optimization algorithm used to find the minimum value of a function by iteratively updating the input variables based on the negative gradient.
What is the role of the gradient in optimization?
—The gradient of a function points in the direction of steepest ascent and is used to determine the update direction in gradient descent optimization.
What is the Hessian matrix?
—The Hessian matrix is the matrix of second derivatives of a function and is used to determine the convexity of the function.
When is gradient descent useful?
—Gradient descent is particularly useful when there are many variables and taking second derivatives is not feasible.
How is gradient descent used in deep learning?
—Gradient descent plays a crucial role in deep learning and neural networks as it is used to optimize the weights and biases of the network during the training process.
