Week 4: Assignment 4

Consider the movement on the 3D error surface for Vannila Gradient Descent Algorithm. Select all the options that are TRUE.

a. Smaller the gradient, slower the movement
b. Larger the gradient, faster the movement
c. Gentle the slope, smaller the gradient
d. Steeper the slope, smaller the gradient

Answer:

Pick out the drawback in Vannila gradient descent algorithm.

a. Very slow movement on gentle slopes
b. Increased oscillations before converging
c. escapes minima because of long strides
d. Very slow movement on steep slopes

Answer:

a. weighted average of gradient
b. Polynomial weighted average
c. Exponential weighted average of gradient
d. Average of recent three gradients
