近端梯度下降法是众多梯度下降 (gradient descent) 方法中的一种,其英文名称为proximal gradident descent,其中,术语中的proximal一词比较耐人寻味,将proximal翻译成“近端”主要想表达"(物理上的)接近"。与经典的梯度下降法和随机梯度下降法相比,近端梯度下降法的适用范围相对狭窄。对于凸优化问题,当其目标函数存在...

Intuition Behind Gradient DescentTo understand the gradient descent algorithm, imagine a drop of water sliding down the side of a bowl or a ball rolling down a hill. The drop and the ball tend to move in the direction of the fastest decrease until they reach the bottom. With time, they’...

To find a local minimum of a function using gradient descent, we take steps proportional to thenegativeof thegradient(or approximate gradient) of the function at the current point. But ...
We are now ready to define the Gradient Descent algorithm:Algorithm [Gradient Descent] For a stepsize α chosen before handInitialize x0 For k=1,2,..., compute xk+1=xk−α∇f(xk)Basically, it adjust the xk a little bit in the direction where f decreases the most (the negative ...
Gradient descent is an optimization algorithm that uses the gradient of the objective function to navigate the search space. Gradient descent can be updated to use an automatically adaptive step size for each input variable in the objective function, called adaptive gradients or AdaGrad. How to impl...
using Gradient Descent can be quite costly since we are only taking a single step for one pass over the training set – thus, the larger the training set, the slower our algorithm updates the weights and the longer it may take until it converges to the global cost minimum (note that the...
Gradient descent is an optimization algorithm used to train machine learning models by minimizing errors between predicted and actual results.
This code provides a basic gradient descent algorithm for linear regression. The function gradient_descent takes in the feature matrix X, target vector y, a learning rate, and the number of iterations. It returns the optimized parameters (theta) and the history of the cost function over the it...
