Gradient descent is an iterative optimization algorithm used in machine learning to minimize a function, typically the loss function in neural networks. It works by calculating the gradient, or slope, of the loss function with respect to the network's weights. The algorithm then takes steps in the opposite direction of the gradient to find a point of lower loss. The learning rate is a crucial hyperparameter that scales the size of these steps, determining how quickly the model converges towards a minimum. AI
