What are mini batches?
Batch means that you use all your data to compute the gradient during one iteration. Mini-batch means you only take a subset of all your data during one iteration.
What is mini batch in neural network?
Mini-batch training is a combination of batch and stochastic training. Instead of using all training data items to compute gradients (as in batch training) or using a single training item to compute gradients (as in stochastic training), mini-batch training uses a user-specified number of training items.
What should be the mini batch size?
The amount of data included in each sub-epoch weight change is known as the batch size. For example, with a training dataset of 1000 samples, a full batch size would be 1000, a mini-batch size would be 500 or 200 or 100, and an online batch size would be just 1.
What’s the difference between a mini batch and a batch size?
Mini-batch sizes, commonly called “batch sizes” for brevity, are often tuned to an aspect of the computational architecture on which the implementation is being executed. Such as a power of two that fits the memory requirements of the GPU or CPU hardware like 32, 64, 128, 256, and so on.
When to use kmeans vs minibatch in cluster analysis?
If you have well-behaved huge data, this may not make a big difference. if you have a difficult data set and not so much data, a fast (not Lloyd) KMeans will find a better solution, and also only take a few iterations. I doubt that many people have such large data sets where minibatch is a good idea.
How does mini batch k-means not converge to a local optimum?
Mini-batch k-means does not converge to a local optimum.x Essentially it uses a subsample of the data to do one step of k-means repeatedly. But because these samples may have different optima, it will not find the best, but move around inbetween of solutions to different parts.
Which is better mini-batch or Batch Gradient descent?
Implementations may choose to sum the gradient over the mini-batch which further reduces the variance of the gradient. Mini-batch gradient descent seeks to find a balance between the robustness of stochastic gradient descent and the efficiency of batch gradient descent.
