About this course

Stochastic is a process involving a randomly determined sequence of observations, each of which is considered as a sample of one element from a probability distribution or, in simple terms, Random selection. In this course, you will learn about Stochastic Gradient Decent, how it works, the difference between SGD and Gradient Descent, Mini Batches, and momentum in this process.

“Momentum is a Different Optimization Technique that Accelerates Gradient Descent”
Training datasets into smaller pieces is referred to as mini-batches. Mini-batch Gradient Descent splits the dataset into smaller batches and updates the model parameters for each batch. This combines the efficiency of Stochastic Gradient Descent (which updates frequently) with the stability of Batch Gradient Descent (which uses larger sample sizes).
