Gradient Descent Example with Animations

This project presents some animations demonstrating gradient descent algorithm for different scenarios.

Execution

Required packages are numpy and matplotlib. Written in python 3.

Example: python gradient_descent_1d.py

Examples

1 - Finding Minimum Value of a Parabola (gradient_descent_1d.py)

2 - Gradient Descent Converges to a Local Minimum (gradient_descent_local_minima.py)

3 - Gradient Descent on 2D Function (gradient_descent_2d.py)

Function is taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_descent#Examples
