Two boxes of muffins cost $6. Watch a model find the price per box using only its own mistakes, and see why too big a step makes it fail.
What you’ll explore
- Compute and interpret squared prediction error in a new small example.
- Trace a supplied update through prediction and squared error, and diagnose why an oversized step worsens this example.
- Optional mathematics: Calculate the scalar loss gradient and check it against a finite difference.
