Understanding Optimization Algorithms

Users: 1 - Average Rating: 4.00


Why do we optimize our machine learning models? We compare the results in every iteration by changing the hyperparameters in each step until we reach the optimum results. We create an accurate model with less error rate. There are different ways using which we can optimize a model. In this article, let’s discuss two important Optimization algorithms: Gradient Descent and Stochastic Gradient Descent Algorithms; how they are used in Machine Learning Models, and the mathematics behind them.

Includes nice geometric interpretations of optimization concepts that support ML algorithms but I felt the provided information could be a little deeper.
