What is an epoch in the context of training model parameters?

Tuesday, 06 May 2025 by Carie Hughes

In the context of training model parameters within machine learning, an epoch is a fundamental concept that refers to one complete pass through the entire training dataset. During this pass, the learning algorithm processes each example in the dataset to update the model's parameters. This process is important for the model to learn from the

In deep learning, are SGD and AdaGrad examples of cost functions in TensorFlow?

Friday, 09 August 2024 by Tomasz Ciołak

In the domain of deep learning, particularly when utilizing TensorFlow, it is important to distinguish between the various components that contribute to the training and optimization of neural networks. Two such components that often come into discussion are Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) and AdaGrad. However, it is a common misconception to categorize these as cost

Can loss be considered as a measure of how wrong the model is?

Monday, 17 June 2024 by Agnieszka Ulrich

The concept of "loss" in the context of deep learning is indeed a measure of how wrong a model is. This concept is fundamental to understanding how neural networks are trained and optimized. Let's consider the details to provide a comprehensive understanding. Understanding Loss in Deep Learning In the realm of deep learning, a model

How to best summarize PyTorch?

Friday, 14 June 2024 by Agnieszka Ulrich

PyTorch is a comprehensive and versatile open-source machine learning library developed by Facebook's AI Research lab (FAIR). It is widely used for applications such as natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and other domains requiring deep learning models. PyTorch's core component is the `torch` library, which provides a multi-dimensional array (tensor) object similar to NumPy's

What are the advantages of using the Rotosolve algorithm over other optimization methods like SPSA in the context of VQE, particularly regarding the smoothness and efficiency of convergence?

Tuesday, 11 June 2024 by EITCA Academy

The Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm designed to find the ground state energy of a quantum system. It achieves this by parameterizing a quantum circuit and optimizing those parameters to minimize the expectation value of the Hamiltonian of the system. The optimization process is important to the efficiency and accuracy of

What are the advantages of using momentum methods in optimization for machine learning, and how do they help in accelerating the convergence of gradient descent algorithms?

Wednesday, 22 May 2024 by EITCA Academy

Momentum methods are a class of optimization techniques that are widely employed in machine learning, particularly in the training of deep neural networks. These methods are designed to accelerate the convergence of gradient descent algorithms by addressing some of the inherent limitations of standard gradient descent. To understand the advantages of using momentum methods, it

How does the gradient descent algorithm update the model parameters to minimize the objective function, and what role does the learning rate play in this process?

Wednesday, 22 May 2024 by EITCA Academy

The gradient descent algorithm is a cornerstone optimization technique in the field of machine learning, particularly in the training of deep learning models. This algorithm is employed to minimize an objective function, typically a loss function, by iteratively adjusting the model parameters in the direction that reduces the error. The process of gradient descent, and

What are the key parameters used in neural network based algorithms?

Wednesday, 03 April 2024 by Björn Calabuig

In the realm of artificial intelligence and machine learning, neural network-based algorithms play a pivotal role in solving complex problems and making predictions based on data. These algorithms consist of interconnected layers of nodes, inspired by the structure of the human brain. To effectively train and utilize neural networks, several key parameters are essential in

What is the learning rate in machine learning?

Tuesday, 14 November 2023 by Hema Gunasekaran

The learning rate is a important model tuning parameter in the context of machine learning. It determines the step size at each training step iteration, based on the information obtained from the previous training step. By adjusting the learning rate, we can control the rate at which the model learns from the training data and

Why the evaluation is 80% for training and 20% for evaluating but not the opposite?

Thursday, 17 August 2023 by Nguyen Xuan Tung

The allocation of 80% weightage to training and 20% weightage to evaluating in the context of machine learning is a strategic decision based on several factors. This distribution aims to strike a balance between optimizing the learning process and ensuring accurate evaluation of the model's performance. In this response, we will consider the reasons behind
