Learning Rate

A hyperparameter that controls how much the model's weights change in response to each update.

Definition

A hyperparameter that controls how much the model's weights change in response to each update. Too high and the model overshoots good solutions and diverges. Too low and training takes forever or gets stuck. Learning rate schedules that decrease over time are common practice.
