Results for "learning rate"

Learning Rate

Intermediate

Controls the size of parameter updates; too high diverges, too low trains slowly or gets stuck.

Think of the learning rate as the size of your steps when walking towards a destination. If you take giant steps, you might overshoot and miss your goal, but if you take tiny steps, you might take forever to get there. In machine learning, the learning rate controls how big of a change we make to...
