Question 1

What is the goal of gradient descent?

  • Minimize loss
  • Maximize accuracy
  • Stabilize weights

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the function you are actually trying to improve in a model.

Question 2

Stochastic Gradient Descent updates weights using:

  • Entire dataset
  • Batch of data
  • Single data point

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how quickly you can learn from just one piece of information.
