Gradient Descent Viz is a desktop app that visualizes some popular gradient descent methods in machine learning, including (vanilla) gradient descent, momentum, AdaGrad, RMSProp and Adam. My hope is that by playing around with the different settings, anyone -- beginner or expert -- can come away with new intuitive understanding of these methods. Read here for the accompanying blog post that explains these methods in detail.

For pre-built app for MacOS (64 bits), download the file gradient_descent_visualization-macOS64bit.dmg from this repository. Extract the image and run the app (you may need to right click -> open to grant permission to open an app from an unknown developer).

For pre-built app for Windows (64 bits), download the file gradient_descent_viz_windows64bit.zip from this repository. Decompress the zip and run the .exe file.

To build it from source code, download and install Qt 5.10 or above (https://www.qt.io/download) for your platform. This app uses the Qt Data Visualization package; make sure to include that in your installation as well. Checkout this repository, and build and run gradient_descent_visualization.pro within the Qt Creator IDE.
