Sometimes, a machine learning algorithm can get stuck on a local optimum. Gradient descent provides a little bump to the existing algorithm to find a better solution that is a little closer to the global optimum. This is comparable to descending a hill in the fog into a small valley, while...
This formula basically tells us the next position we need to go, which is the direction of the steepest descent. Let’s look at another example to really drive the concept home. Imagine you have a machine learning problem and want to train your algorithm with gradient descent to minimize you...
You can see how simple gradient descent is. It does require you to know the gradient of your cost function or the function you are optimizing, but besides that, it’s very straightforward. Next we will see how we can use this in machine learning algorithms. Batch Gradient Descent for Mach...
看Standford的机器学习公开课,逻辑回归的代价函数求解也是用Gradeant Descent方法,而且形式居然和线性归回一模一样,有点不能理解,于是我把公式展开做了推导,发现是可以的! 推导过程如下:
在求解机器学习算法的模型参数,即无约束优化问题时,梯度下降(Gradient Descent)是最常采用的方法之一,另一种常用的方法是最小二乘法。这里就对梯度下降法做一个完整的总结。 1. 梯度 在微积分里面,对多元函数的参数求∂偏导数,把求得的各个参数的偏导数以向量的形式写出来,就是梯度。比如函数f(x,y), 分别...
You may also recall plotting a scatterplot in statistics and finding the line of best fit, which required calculating the error between the actual output and the predicted output (y-hat) using the mean squared error formula. The gradient descent algorithm behaves similarly, but it is based on...

An important parameter in Gradient Descent is the size of step known aslearning ratehyperparameter. If the learning rate is too small there will multiple iterations that the algorithm has to execute for converging which will take longer time. On the other hand, if the learning rate is too hig...
