Find out why backpropagation and gradient descent are key to prediction in machine learning, then get started with training a simple neural network using gradient descent and Java code.

To machine learning pioneer Terry Sejnowski, the mathematical technique called stochastic gradient descent is the “secret sauce” of deep learning, and most people don’t actually grasp its ...

Dr. James McCaffrey presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of the kernel ridge regression technique to predict a single numeric value. The demo uses stochastic gradient descent, one of two ...
