What is Gradient? Loss Function? Model Parameters? Gradient Descent?

by ComputingNotes
Gradient Descent: Optimization algorithm; minimizes errors between predicted and actual results; updates parameters by moving against the gradient Loss Function: aim is to minimize this function, closer to zero; measures how bad the prediction is in comparison to the actual true value; various methods are used; one is Mean Squared Error (MSE) Gradient: Slope; direction ...
