gradient-optimization algorithm
1Optimization (mathematics) — In mathematics, the term optimization, or mathematical programming, refers to the study of problems in which one seeks to minimize or maximize a real function by systematically choosing the values of real or integer variables from within an… …
2Gradient descent — For the analytical method called steepest descent see Method of steepest descent. Gradient descent is an optimization algorithm. To find a local minimum of a function using gradient descent, one takes steps proportional to the negative of the… …
3Mathematical optimization — For other uses, see Optimization (disambiguation). The maximum of a paraboloid (red dot) In mathematics, computational science, or management science, mathematical optimization (alternatively, optimization or mathematical programming) refers to… …
4Genetic algorithm — A genetic algorithm (GA) is a search heuristic that mimics the process of natural evolution. This heuristic is routinely used to generate useful solutions to optimization and search problems. Genetic algorithms belong to the larger class of… …
5Ant colony optimization algorithms — Ant behavior was the inspiration for the metaheuristic optimization technique. In computer science and operations research, the ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO) is a probabilistic technique for solving computational problems which can be… …
6Stochastic optimization — (SO) methods are optimization algorithms which incorporate probabilistic (random) elements, either in the problem data (the objective function, the constraints, etc.), or in the algorithm itself (through random parameter values, random choices,… …
7Stochastic gradient descent — is a general optimization algorithm, but is typically used to fit the parameters of a machine learning model.In standard (or batch ) gradient descent, the true gradient is used to update the parameters of the model. The true gradient is usually… …
8Multidisciplinary design optimization — Multi disciplinary design optimization (MDO) is a field of engineering that uses optimization methods to solve design problems incorporating a number of disciplines. As defined by Prof. Carlo Poloni, MDO is the art of finding the best compromise …
9Newton's method in optimization — A comparison of gradient descent (green) and Newton s method (red) for minimizing a function (with small step sizes). Newton s method uses curvature information to take a more direct route. In mathematics, Newton s method is an iterative method… …
10Criss-cross algorithm — This article is about an algorithm for mathematical optimization. For the naming of chemicals, see crisscross method. The criss cross algorithm visits all 8 corners of the Klee–Minty cube in the worst case. It visits 3 additional… …
