Now, what was the Gradient Descent algorithm? Above algorithm says, to perform the GD, we need to calculate the gradient of the cost function J. And to calculate the gradient of the cost function, we need to sum (yellow circle!) the cost of each sample. If we have 3 million samples, we have to loop through 3 million times or use the dot product. If you insist to use GD.

### Understanding the 3 Primary Types of Gradient Descent

Gradient descent is the most commonly used optimization method deployed in machine learning and deep learning algorithms. It's used to train a machine learning model and is based on a convex function. It does this to minimize a given cost function to its local minimum. Gradient descent was invented by French mathematician Louis Augustin Cauchy in 1847. Most machine learning and deep learning algorithms involve some sort of optimization.

### An overview of gradient descent optimization algorithms

This article was written by Sebastian Ruder. Sebastian is a PhD student in Natural Language Processing and a research scientist at AYLIEN. Gradient descent is one of the most popular algorithms to perform optimization and by far the most common way to optimize neural networks. At the same time, every state-of-the-art Deep Learning library contains implementations of various algorithms to optimize gradient descent (e.g. These algorithms, however, are often used as black-box optimizers, as practical explanations of their strengths and weaknesses are hard to come by.

This blog post aims at providing you with intuitions towards the behaviour of different algorithms for optimizing gradient descent that will help you put them to use. We are first going to look at the different variants of gradient descent.

### #003 D TF Gradient Descent in TensorFlow Master Data Science

In this post we will see how to implement Gradient Descent using TensorFlow. Next, we will define our variable $$\omega$$ and we will initialize it with $$-3$$. With the following peace of code we will also define our cost function $$J(\omega) (\omega – 3) 2$$. With the next two lines of code, we specify the initialization of our variables (here we have just one variable $$\omega$$ and the gradient descent for minimizing our cost function with the learning rate of $$0.01$$. Then we will define a session as sess and we will run the init so we will initialize the variable $$\omega$$.
