Data Science and Machine Learning (Theory and Projects) A to Z - Gradient Descent in RNN: Why Gradients Solution

The video tutorial explains how to differentiate a loss function with respect to parameters using multiple paths. It introduces the concept of the multivariable chain rule, which involves computing derivatives for each path and summing them. This concept is then related to recurrent neural networks, where weight sharing results in multiple paths impacting the loss function. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding these paths and their derivatives to effectively compute the overall derivative of the loss function.
