Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
When maximizing a function, the gradient at a given point will always point in _____.
**Notes:**
In machine learning, when we are trying to learn parameters to solve a problem, the direction of the gradient will be crucial to finding "good" parameters!
**Options:**
- any direction
- the direction of steepest ascent
- the direction away from the origin
- the direction of steepest descent
![Given
\( f(x) = wx + b \)
compute the partial derivative for the following equation with respect to \( w \):
\[
\frac{\partial}{\partial w} \frac{1}{2} \left( f(x) - y \right)^2
\]
**Notes:** This function is what we call the *squared error* and is one of the most popular performance measures (measure of loss or how well the ML algorithm is doing) for regression problems. We will be computing its derivative (i.e., gradient) frequently! Further, partial derivatives are used to compute the derivative with respect to each variable in a function. Also recall that partial derivatives are used to compute a gradient which will be a crucial concept for how machine learning algorithms learn! While technically we are only taking the derivative with respect to a single variable here, it is important to start to get familiar with the notation \( \frac{\partial}{\partial w} \) which is used for partial derivatives.
- \( x \)
- \( (f(x) - y)x \)
- \( 2(f(x) - y)x \)
- \( (f(x) - y) \)](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/2e96339b-d3d9-4039-844d-3fc091742cc5/351f8b01-0743-4206-82e0-5841f162c3ab/zy3r2np_thumbnail.png)

- Please use matlabarrow_forwardthermostat, which will turn the heat on when the room temperature drops h degrees below its set point, Ts, and cuts heat off at a temperature h degrees higher than Ts . The system heats at a constant rate Q (thermal units per time unit), and the volume of the room is V, so, if the room were perfectly insulated, the heating system would raise the temperature of the room at the rate KVQ (degrees per time unit), where K is a constant of proportionality giving the change in temperature per thermal unit per unit volume. However, there is a heat loss to the outside that is proportional to the difference in temperature between the room and the outside. Using the modified Euler method, write a FORTRAN program to simulate this system, if the room temperature at time is T(t), T(0) = To, and the outside temperature, Tout' is given by: Case (1) : Tout is constant < Ts Case (2) : Tout = A sin(wt + 4)| , %3D reflecting daily cycles.

I think its because of the backslash operator I used here, X = A \ b. I can't do X = A * inv(b) because b is not a square matrix. How should I reduce the error? % Problem 1% Step 1: Compute the right-hand side vector bn = 20;Xo = ones(n, 1); % Column vector with ones in each componentA = zeros(n); % Initialize the matrix A for i = 1:n for j = 1:n A(i, j) = 1 / (i + j - 1); endend b = A * Xo; % Step 2: Solve the system AX = b numericallyX = A \ b; % Backslash operator for numerical solution % Step 3: Compute the error vector E and find the maximum componentE = X - Xo;E_inf = max(abs(E));arrow_forward
