L38: RMSProp | adaptive learning with exponential decay

Welcome to Lecture 38 of the course "Deep Learning" by Prof. Mitesh M.Khapra Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/ds/course_pa... Video Overview This lecture focuses on RMSProp an adaptive optimization algorithm developed to overcome the rapid and aggressive learning rate decay found in Adagrad. RMSProp improves training stability by maintaining an exponentially decaying average of squared gradients allowing the learning rate to adapt over time without vanishing. This mechanism helps neural networks converge faster while avoiding the risk of premature stagnation during optimization. You will also explore how the choice of initial learning rate can significantly impact the performance of RMSProp and understand the algorithm's sensitivity to hyperparameters. The session includes visual and conceptual insights into how RMSProp balances stability and adaptability making it one of the most effective gradient based optimizers used in deep learning today.
