Deep Learning Course - Stochastic Gradient Descent - EPISODE 03

Welcome to Episode 03 of our comprehensive Deep Learning Course! In this installment, we dive deep into one of the fundamental optimization techniques in the world of artificial intelligence and neural networks - Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD).

In this video, we'll demystify the inner workings of Stochastic Gradient Descent, a key algorithm that enables neural networks to learn from data efficiently. Whether you're a beginner looking to understand the basics or an advanced learner seeking a refresher, this episode has something for everyone.

Here's a glimpse of what we'll cover in this episode:

Introduction to SGD: We'll start with the basics, explaining what Stochastic Gradient Descent is and why it's crucial for training deep learning models.

Stochastic vs. Batch vs. Mini-Batch Gradient Descent: We'll compare SGD to its counterparts, Batch Gradient Descent and Mini-Batch Gradient Descent, highlighting the unique advantages and trade-offs of each.

The Math Behind SGD: We'll break down the mathematical concepts underpinning SGD, helping you understand how it optimizes neural network parameters.

Stochasticity and Learning: Explore how the stochastic nature of SGD can lead to faster convergence and escape local minima.

Hyperparameters and Tips: Learn about crucial hyperparameters associated with SGD, such as learning rate and momentum, and gain valuable tips for tuning them effectively.

Practical Implementation: We'll demonstrate how to implement SGD in Python using popular deep-learning libraries like TensorFlow or PyTorch.

Common Challenges and Solutions: Understand the common issues that arise when using SGD and how to address them.

By the end of this episode, you'll have a solid understanding of Stochastic Gradient Descent, its role in training deep learning models, and the practical skills needed to apply it effectively.
