An Easy Guide to Gradient Descent in Machine Learning

Introduction Gradient Descent is an iterative approach for locating a function’s minima. This is an optimisation approach for locating the parameters or coefficients of a function with the lowest value. This function, however, does not always discover a global minimum and can become trapped at a local minimum. Take a look at the diagram above […]

Understanding Learning Rate in Machine Learning

In supervised learning, to enable an algorithm’s predictions to be as close to the actual values/labels as possible, we employ two things: 1) A cost function and 2) A technique to minimize the cost function. There are popular forms of cost functions used for different tasks that the algorithms are expected to perform.  Also, a
