Although this is not part of your questions, one key thing about this pair of graphs is to show you even though it looked plateaued on the left graph, the right graph, which is a zoom-in view for the left graph (check that the x-axis of the right graph starts from 100), showed that it was indeed decreasing.
I think it said “not inspiring” because of the following comparisons:
that even though the cost kept declining (which is good as you said), the predictions end up quite different from the targets. We wanted the predictions to be better.
plt.plot by default gives you lines. plt.scatter gives you scatter plots.
Ah, now I see.
I thought the blue lines in the left plot were just the borders!
Thanks for explaining the scaling change - I didn’t pick up on that.
I ended up making an intervening plot to visualize it.
It’s good! Actually other learners had asked about the plots, and I think next time it will be useful to share the link to your intervening plot if there is a new question about these plots again. I am going to bookmark your post. Thank you, @N_R!
