Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering

Seminar on
“Gradient Descent, SGD, Adam, RMSProp”

Subject: Artificial Neural Network (21EC641)


Introduction

Definition: Neural network optimization refers to techniques used to minimize the error
or loss function during training.

Importance: Efficient optimization improves convergence speed and model


performance.
Gradient Descent

Concept: Gradient Descent minimizes the loss function by iteratively adjusting


parameters in the direction of the negative gradient.
Formula:
θt+1 =θt −η∇J(θt )

Visual Aid: Illustration showing how Gradient Descent progresses towards minimizing
loss.
Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD)

Overview: SGD updates parameters using gradients computed from a subset (batch) of
training data.
Advantages: Faster convergence and scalability to large datasets.
Mini-batch SGD: Balances efficiency and accuracy by processing data in batches.
Momentum and Nesterov Accelerated Gradient (NAG)

Concept: Momentum enhances SGD by adding a fraction of the previous update vector
to the current update.
NAG: Improves upon Momentum by considering future gradient estimates to update
parameters.
Benefits: Faster convergence, especially in the presence of noise or high curvature.
Adam Optimization

Overview: Adam adapts learning rates for each parameter by estimating first and second
moments of gradients.
Advantages: Effective for sparse gradients and varying magnitudes, often outperforming
traditional methods.
Considerations: Sensitivity to hyperparameters and computational cost.
RMSProp

Concept: RMSProp adjusts the learning rate based on the average of recent magnitudes
of gradients for each parameter.

Advantages: Stable performance across different types of neural networks.

Comparison: Contrast with Adam in terms of adaptive learning rate mechanisms.


Choosing the Right Optimizer

Considerations: Factors include dataset size, model complexity, and characteristics of


the loss function.
Selection Guidelines: Practical tips for selecting between Adam, RMSProp, SGD, and
variants.
Conclusion: Optimization choice significantly impacts training efficiency and final
model performance.
