I drop you off somewhere ad tell you that you re i a covex shaped valley ad escape is at the bottom/miimum. How do you get out? Approach: pick a startig poit (w repeat util likelihood ca t icrease i ay dimesio: pick a dimesio move a small amout i that dimesio towards icreasig likelihood (usig the derivative Gradiet descet pick a startig poit (w repeat util loss does t decrease i all dimesios: pick a dimesio move a small amout i that dimesio towards decreasig loss (usig the derivative w i = w i # d error(w dw i learig rate (how much we wat to move i the error directio Solvig covex fuctios Gradiet descet is just oe approach A whole field called covex optimizatio Lots of well kow methods Cojugate gradiet Geeralized Iterative Scalig (GIS Improved Iterative Scalig (IIS Limited-memory quasi-newto (L-BFGS The key: if we get a error fuctio that is covex, we ca miimize/maximize it (evetually 6
