Definition ∞ Gradient Descent is an iterative optimization algorithm used to find the minimum of a function. It works by repeatedly taking steps in the direction of the steepest decrease of the function, which is determined by the negative of the gradient. This method is fundamental in machine learning for training models by adjusting parameters to minimize error.
Context ∞ In cryptocurrency-related fields, Gradient Descent is primarily employed within machine learning models used for algorithmic trading, risk assessment, and network anomaly detection. Discussions often pertain to the optimization of hyperparameters for these models to improve predictive accuracy and computational efficiency. Future applications may involve its use in more complex decentralized finance modeling and sophisticated network security analyses.
