Overview of this book

Deep learning is rapidly becoming the most preferred way of solving data problems. This is thanks, in part, to its huge variety of mathematical algorithms and their ability to find patterns that are otherwise invisible to us. Deep Learning from the Basics begins with a fast-paced introduction to deep learning with Python, its definition, characteristics, and applications. You’ll learn how to use the Python interpreter and the script files in your applications, and utilize NumPy and Matplotlib in your deep learning models. As you progress through the book, you’ll discover backpropagation—an efficient way to calculate the gradients of weight parameters—and study multilayer perceptrons and their limitations, before, finally, implementing a three-layer neural network and calculating multidimensional arrays. By the end of the book, you’ll have the knowledge to apply the relevant technologies in deep learning.

Updating Parameters

The purpose of neural network training is to find the parameters that minimize the value of the loss function. The problem is finding the optimal parameters—a process called optimization. Unfortunately, the optimization is difficult because the parameter space is very complicated, and the optimal solution is difficult to find. You cannot do this by solving an equation to obtain the minimum value immediately. In a deep network, it is more difficult because the number of parameters is huge.

So far, we have depended on the gradients (derivatives) of the parameters to find the optimal parameters. By repeatedly using the gradients of the parameters to update the parameters in the gradient direction, we approach the optimal parameters gradually. This is a simple method called stochastic gradient descent (SGD), but it is a "smarter" method than searching the parameter space randomly. However, SGD is a simple method, and (for some problems) there are...
