Module 1: Supervised Learning & Optimization

Lesson 1: Gradient Descent & Loss Landscapes

Visualize how parameters update along negative gradients to minimize cost functions such as Mean Squared Error and Cross-Entropy.

Key Takeaways

  • Learning rate selection: too large oscillates, too small converges slowly
  • Stochastic vs mini-batch gradient descent trade-offs
  • Convex vs non-convex optimization landscapes
