Question 1

What is the primary purpose of Gradient Descent?

  • To maximize errors
  • To minimize errors
  • To stabilize learning

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember its role in optimization.

Question 2

True or False? Batch Gradient Descent uses a single data point for each update.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how 'batch' implies completeness.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design an algorithm to implement Batch Gradient Descent for a linear regression model. Discuss how you would handle different learning rates and termination conditions.

πŸ’‘ Hint: What might you monitor to determine when to stop updating?

Question 2

Compare the convergence behavior of Stochastic Gradient Descent and Batch Gradient Descent on a noisy dataset. What adjustments might you suggest to improve performance?

πŸ’‘ Hint: How can the size of batches employed help manage noise?
