The main reason why gradient descent is used for linear regression isthe computational complexity: it's computationally cheaper (faster) to find the solution using the gradient descent in some cases. Here, you need to calculate the matrix X′X then invert it (see note below). It's an expen...
In a usual Numerical Methods class, students learn that gradient descent is not an efficient optimization algorithm, and that more efficient algorithms exist, algorithms which are actually used in state-of-the-art numerical optimization packages. On the other hand, in solving...
When you venture into machine learning one of the fundamental aspects of your learning would be to understand “Gradient Descent”. Gradient descent is the backbone of an machine learning algorithm. In…

Let me try to explain gradient descent from a software developer’s point of view. I’ll take liberties with my explanation and terminology in order to make the ideas as clear as possible. Take a look at the graph in Figure 2. The graph plots error as a function of the value of some...
In a simple Gradient Descent algorithm, the next priority assignment Π1 would be calculated by adding the gradient (last column of Table 3) scaled by a learning rate to the current priority assignment Π0. This is represented in Eq. (2). In GDPA, we optimize the gradient by adding a ...
Gradient Descent Intuition The minimum point of the Mountain Let's say we're at the top of a mountain, and we're given the task of reaching the mountain's lowest point while blindfolded. The most effective way is to look at the ground and see where the landscape slopes down. From there...
An in-depth explanation of Gradient Descent, and how to avoid the problems of local minima and saddle points.
To provide some intuition, consider that GD is steepest descent wrt the L2 norm and the steepest direction of the gradient depends on the norm. The fact that the direction of the weights converge to stationary points of the gradient under a constraint is the origin of the hidden complexity ...
Andrew Ng’s course on Machine Learning at Coursera provides an excellent explanation of gradient descent for linear regression. To really get a strong grasp on it, I decided to work through some of the derivations and some simple examples here.This...
