Course Overview
In this course, you will learn about optimization, one of the fundamental pillars of mathematics and machine learning. Machine learning depends heavily on optimization because it allows the model to learn from data and generate precise predictions.
You will begin by introducing optimization. Then, you will learn about optimization basics, including gradients and integrals. Next, you will cover convex optimization. You will then learn how to compute gradient descent for non-convex optimization. Next, you’ll...Show More
