This is lesson 4, which is week 5 since last week was out of order.
Note: This is a wiki post - feel free to edit to add links from the lesson or other useful info.
Questionnaire entry 13 may be slightly misleading (Why does SGD use mini batches?).
Perhaps you could say a few words about the differences between (1) Stochastic Gradient Descent, (2) Mini Batch Gradient Descent, and (3) Batch Gradient Descent.
Scratch that. I did not notice your text in âSGD and mini-batchesâ.
You do explain it, it is just the questionâs phrasing that is a little confusing.
A minor thing. In Lesson 4 from the book, pandas background gradient applied in row-wise. For example, df.iloc[10,16] which is 22 dark.
Seaborn considers all the numbers in the dataframe for applying gradient. The same number 22 is light now.
Is this post going to be a wiki for the community to add resources?
Iâve wiki-fied it 
Is there a plan to work in a smaller groups?
@SMEissa there are a few smaller groups that are active-please check the study groups section, we have a book reading group and a Mid-Level API ones that are active.
There are few open collaborations created by Radek. If you find something interesting and want to start a group-please do so! 
@rachel, Jeremyâs mic isnât working
Yes, Text is good
Are you also meeting this weekend? it would be great
Iâm not sure yet-but Iâll update the respective wikis
Whats the difference between Gradient Descent and Stochastic Gradient Descent ? Is there something that I should particularly remember ?
Gradient descent is when you use all your data to compute the gradients, then update your weights. Stochastic gradient descent is when you use mini-batches with random samples of your training set to compute the gradients, then update your weights.
To add: I remember it as: The âstochastic-nessâ comes from the batches
Technically:
Gradient Descent ==> Gradient is calculated using Whole data
Stochastic Gradient Descent ==> Gradient is calculated using one sample of data
Mini Batch Gradient Descent ==> Gradient is calculated using batch(generally given by batch-size) of data
Traditionally, we call mini-batch gradient descent as SGD.
I donât really like this terminology that is pretty old (and absolutely no one does true stochastic gradient descent anyway). When we say stochastic gradient descent, itâs the mini-batch gradient descent (and usually, when people that want to refer to the stochastic gradient descent of this definition, they say true stochastic gradient descent).
Why did we reshape the images from a matrix into a vector?
To be able to do a matrix multiplication with the set of those images by our weights: you canât multiply a tensor of size N x 28 x 28 by some weights, but you can multiply a tensor of size N x 784 by some weights.
