Optimization

Optimization is not a new word; we have used it earlier with respect to both machine learning and DL algorithms, where we used the TensorFlow auto differentiator to find the optimum model weights and biases using a form of gradient descent algorithm. In this section, we will learn a little more about optimization, optimization problems, and different techniques used to perform optimization.

In its most basic terms, optimization is the process of making something better. The idea is to find the best solution, and obviously when we talk about the best solution, it means there exists more than one solution. In optimization, we try to adjust our variable parameters/processes/inputs so that we can find the minimum or maximum output. ...
