Deep Learning CNN Convolutional Neural Networks with Python - Gradient Descent

The video tutorial explains the concept of gradient descent, a key algorithm in machine learning, particularly for training neural networks. It begins with an introduction to binary classification and the importance of parameter adjustment to minimize loss. The tutorial then delves into how parameters are updated using the gradient direction, emphasizing the significance of step size or learning rate. The process of gradient descent is detailed, highlighting its role in reducing loss and achieving optimal parameters. Finally, the application of gradient descent in neural networks is discussed, noting its prevalence in training models.

What is the primary goal when adjusting parameters in a binary classification problem?
