A Beginner's Guide to Deep Learning

# Why is optimization hard?

The optimal value of one weight depends on the value of the other weights. Many weights are optimized at once. From the slope, we will understand which weights to increase or decrease. However, the updates may not improve the model meaningfully. This calls for changing the hyperparameters.




## Model Parameter vs. Hyperparameter

Model parameters are **internal parameters** of the model. In the case of a neural network, model parameters are neuron weights. They are learned automatically while training the network. These weight parameters are then utilized to make predictions.


Hyperparameters are **external parameters** of the model. They are set by the programmer of the model. This includes selecting the activation function, the optimizer, the batch size, and the epochs. Hyperparameters have a significant impact on the accuracy of a neural network.

# Hyperparameters: Optimization methods

There are various ways to optimize the hyperparameters using trial and error. However, there is not a consensus on what works best. 


## Hyperparameters related to a neural network structure

**1. Model complexity** 

 This defines hidden layers or nodes per layer. The increase in model complexity usually enhances accuracy.

**2. Dropout** 

This defines
the number of neurons that will be randomly killed to prevent the network from learning the intrinsic details of the training data samples.

This lesson will introduce the idea of model optimization.
