Optimizers

What are optimizers? Optimizers are mathematical functions or algorithms that aim to reduce the loss value of a model. In simpler terms, optimizers reduce the loss after forward propagation of a model which makes supervised models learn and become ‘smart’. When training a model, the objective is to minimize the loss/cost function by iteratively updating the model parameters(Weights and Biases) at each epoch. This approach aims in reducing the loss by finding the global minima for the loss function. ...
