Mini Batch Gradient Descent is an algorithm that helps to speed up learning while dealing with a large dataset. Instead of updating the weight parameters after assessing the entire dataset, Mini Batch ...

Find out why backpropagation and gradient descent are key to prediction in machine learning, then get started with training a simple neural network using gradient descent and Java code. Most ...

This paper introduces the (α, Γ)-descent, an iterative algorithm which operates on measures and performs α-divergence minimisation in a Bayesian framework. This gradient-based procedure extends the ...
