Analytical Intuition.
Gradient Descent is Sliding Down the Error Mountain. computational systems adjusts its weights in the direction of the steepest descent. The engine of all modern neural network training.
CAUTION
Institutional Warning.
Learning Rate is the step size. Too big and you jump over the valley; too small and you take forever.
