About this lesson

In this video, I've explained the core ideas of Gradient Descent, An Optimisation Algorithm that we use to minimise a cost function in Machine Learning and Artificial intelligence. I have started with an analogy and then went into mathematical detail (Visually). Undestanding This Algorithm is extremely important for Machine Learning. if you want to play with the animations yourself here is the link:-https://github.com/ByteQuest0/Animation_codes/tree/main/2025/GradientDescant Links for videos on partial derivatives and calculus:- partial derivatives:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkB4vW16QHI&pp=ygUTcGFyaXRsYSBkZXJpdmFpdHZlcw%3D%3D calculus:- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDMsr9K-rj53DwVRMYO3t5Yr AI/ML Playlist:- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVHz9YUo4rRfLDIbzl4LpHfA15-FGd9YD Tools used:- Manim (Python library by 3Blue1Brown) for all visuals Adobe Premiere Pro for editing and Audition for sound recording and editing. #gradient #aiml #ML #machinelearning #artificialintelligence
