3 Types of Gradient Decent Types : Batch, Stochastic & Mini-Batch _ Day 8

Understanding Gradient Descent: Batch, Stochastic, and Mini-Batch Understanding Gradient Descent: Batch, Stochastic, and Mini-Batch Learn the key differences between Batch Gradient Descent, Stochastic Gradient Descent, and Mini-Batch Gradient Descent, and how to apply them in your machine learning models. Batch Gradient Descent Batch Gradient Descent uses the entire dataset to calculate the gradient of the cost function, leading to stable, consistent steps toward an optimal solution. It is computationally expensive, making it suitable for smaller datasets where high precision is crucial. Formula: \[\theta := \theta – \eta \cdot \frac{1}{m} \sum_{i=1}^{m} \nabla_{\theta} J(\theta; x^{(i)}, y^{(i)})\] \(\theta\) = parameters \(\eta\) = learning rate \(m\) = number of training examples \(\nabla_{\theta} J(\theta; x^{(i)}, y^{(i)})\) = gradient of the cost function Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) Stochastic Gradient Descent updates parameters using each training example individually. This method can quickly adapt to new patterns, potentially escaping local minima more effectively than Batch Gradient Descent. It is particularly useful for large datasets and online learning environments. Formula: \[\theta := \theta – \eta \cdot \nabla_{\theta} J(\theta; x^{(i)}, y^{(i)})\] \(\theta\) = parameters \(\eta\) = learning rate \(\nabla_{\theta} J(\theta; x^{(i)}, y^{(i)})\) = gradient of the cost function for a single training example Mini-Batch Gradient Descent Mini-Batch Gradient Descent is...

What is Gradient Decent in Machine Learning? _ Day 7

Mastering Gradient Descent in Machine Learning Mastering Gradient Descent: A Comprehensive Guide to Optimizing Machine Learning Models Gradient Descent is a foundational optimization algorithm used in machine learning to minimize a model’s cost function, typically Mean Squared Error (MSE) in linear regression. By iteratively adjusting the model’s parameters (weights), Gradient Descent seeks to find the optimal values that reduce the prediction error. What is Gradient Descent? Gradient Descent works by calculating the gradient (slope) of the cost function with respect to each parameter and moving in the direction opposite to the gradient. This process is repeated until the algorithm converges to a minimum point, ideally the global minimum, where the cost function is minimized. Types of Learning Rates in Gradient Descent: Too Small Learning Rate Slow Convergence: A very small learning rate makes the algorithm take tiny steps toward the minimum, resulting in a long training process. High Precision: Useful when fine adjustments are needed to avoid overshooting the minimum, but impractical for large-scale problems due to time inefficiency. Too Large Learning Rate Risk of Divergence: A large learning rate can cause the algorithm to overshoot the minimum, leading to oscillations or divergence where the cost function increases instead of...
