GRADIENT DESCENT [6 records]

Record 1 2026-01-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Software
  • Mathematics
CONT

The objective of the changes made in the gain parameter is to minimize the value of the functional given by(the) equation. However, the relationship between the gain and the functional is generally not known a priori. Consequently, we must rely on search techniques to find the value of gain that minimizes the functional, J. To do this, a small change is made in the gain and the error change is observed. If the value of the functional decreases, we continue to change the gain in the same direction. This process(is) a realization of the gradient search or steepest descent technique....

CONT

Stochastic gradient algorithms are widely used for large-scale learning and inference problems. However, their use in practice is typically guided by heuristics and trial-and-error rather than rigorous, generalizable theory.

CONT

Stochastic gradient descent(SGD) and its variants have established themselves as the go-to algorithms for large-scale machine learning problems with independent samples due to their generalization performance and intrinsic computational advantage.

Record 5 1998-11-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

The situation where the system always moves downward in the energy function.

CONT

One standard optimization technique is to use gradient descent : The values of the variables in the problem are modified in whatever direction reduces the cost function(energy). For hard problems, gradient descent gets stuck at local minima that are not globally optimal.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

La surface de la fonction d'erreur présente des caractéristiques peu satisfaisantes pour effectuer une descente de gradient : minima locaux, qui empêchent la convergence de l'algorithme, plateaux où les pentes sont très faibles, etc.
