Activation Function _ day 11

Activation Functions in Neural Networks Activation Functions in Neural Networks: Why They Matter ? Activation functions are pivotal in neural networks, transforming the input of each neuron to its output signal, thus determining the neuron’s activation level. This process allows neural networks to handle tasks such as image recognition and language processing effectively. The Role of Different Activation Functions Neural networks employ distinct activation functions in their inner and outer layers, customized to the specific requirements of the network: Inner Layers: Functions like ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) introduce necessary non-linearity, allowing the network to learn complex patterns in the data....

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...

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...
