🚀 Exploring Gradient Descent with Python – 2D Visualization 🎨 I just built an interactive 2D gradient descent visualization in Python to better understand how optimization works! 💡 What it does: Shows a ball moving along the curve y=x2 following gradient descent steps. Includes a descent line connecting each step to illustrate progress. Interactive starting position slider to see how different initial points affect convergence. Symbolic derivatives via SymPy for accurate gradient computation. 📊 Why it’s cool: Makes gradient descent intuitive and visual, especially for beginners in machine learning or optimization. Helps explore concepts like learning rate, convergence speed, and initialization effects. 🔥 Tech Stack: Python | NumPy | SymPy | Matplotlib | Matplotlib Animation 💻 GitHub Repository: https://lnkd.in/dW_TqEBi This project was a great hands-on way to connect theory with visualization. Next, I’m planning to extend it to custom functions and gradient ascent for a full interactive learning experience! #Python #MachineLearning #DataScience #Matplotlib #SymPy #OpenSource #Visualization #GradientDescent
