Discussion of article "Data Science and Machine Learning (Part 06): Gradient Descent"

 

New article Data Science and Machine Learning (Part 06): Gradient Descent has been published:

The gradient descent plays a significant role in training neural networks and many machine learning algorithms. It is a quick and intelligent algorithm despite its impressive work it is still misunderstood by a lot of data scientists let's see what it is all about.

Basically, The gradient descent is an optimization algorithm used to find the minimum of a function:

The gradient descent is a very important algorithm in machine learning as it helps us find the parameters for the best model for our dataset, let me first explain the term Cost Function.
