Stochastic gradient descent competes with the L-BFGS algorithm, [citation needed] which is also widely used. Stochastic gradient descent has been used since at least 1960 for training linear regression models, originally under the name ADALINE. [25] Another stochastic gradient descent algorithm is the least mean squares (LMS) adaptive filter.
It allows for the efficient computation of gradients through random variables, enabling the optimization of parametric probability models using stochastic gradient descent, and the variance reduction of estimators. It was developed in the 1980s in operations research, under the name of "pathwise gradients", or "stochastic gradients".
This technique is used in stochastic gradient descent and as an extension to the backpropagation algorithms used to train artificial neural networks. [29] [30] In the direction of updating, stochastic gradient descent adds a stochastic property. The weights can be used to calculate the derivatives.
Deep learning training mainly relies on variants of stochastic gradient descent, where gradients are computed on a random subset of the total dataset and then used to make one step of the gradient descent. Federated stochastic gradient descent [19] is the direct transposition of this algorithm to the federated setting, but by using a random ...

If is chosen to be large, the amount with which the weights change depends heavily on the gradient estimate, and so the weights may change by a large value so that gradient which was negative at the first instant may now become positive. And at the second instant, the weight may change in the opposite direction by a large amount because of the ...
The idea is to apply a steepest descent step to this minimization problem (functional gradient descent). The basic idea is to find a local minimum of the loss function by iterating on (). In fact, the local maximum-descent direction of the loss function is the negative gradient. [8]
Empirically, feature scaling can improve the convergence speed of stochastic gradient descent. In support vector machines, [2] it can reduce the time to find support vectors. Feature scaling is also often used in applications involving distances and similarities between data points, such as clustering and similarity search.
