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. 5, record 1, English, - stochastic%20gradient%20algorithm
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 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. 3, record 1, English, - stochastic%20gradient%20algorithm

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. 3, record 5, English, - gradient%20descent
