Part of AI Tutorials – Practical Learning· 8 of 8Gradient Descent Explained Simply with Python – episode 5 of AI Concepts Explained, a free beginner-friendly artificial intelligence and machine learning course by Irfan Hayat.
Gradient descent is how almost every AI model learns. Irfan Hayat explains loss landscapes, slopes, learning rates and backpropagation with animated charts, then codes gradient descent from scratch in Python.
What you'll learn
• The loss landscape as a hilly valley
• What a gradient (slope) tells us
• The learning rate and why it matters
• Gradient descent coded from scratch
• Backpropagation and mini-batches in plain English
