<dd><p>SGD Optimizer.</p>
<p>SGD is an optimization method, trying to find a neural network that
minimize the &#8220;cost/error&#8221; of it by iteration. In paddle&#8217;s implementation
SGD Optimizer is synchronized, which means all gradients will be wait to
calculate and reduced into one gradient, then do optimize operation.</p>
<p>The neural network consider the learning problem of minimizing an objective
function, that has the form of a sum</p>
<div class="math">
\[Q(w) = \sum_{i}^{n} Q_i(w)\]</div>
<p>The value of function Q sometimes is the cost of neural network (Mean
Square Error between prediction and label for example). The function Q is
parametrised by w, the weight/bias of neural network. And weights is what to
be learned. The i is the i-th observation in (trainning) data.</p>
<p>So, the SGD method will optimize the weight by</p>
<div class="math">
\[w = w - \eta \nabla Q(w) = w - \eta \sum_{i}^{n} \nabla Q_i(w)\]</div>
