Can one use Adam optimization on Classical Machine Learning instead of just Neural Networks?

Hi @ajeancharles

Yes, you can:

ADAM is an optimizer you van use to solve cost functions which emerge from different models, beyond neural networks. You can also apply ADAM in classic ML, here an example for linear regression w/ ADAM: āĻŽā§ŒāĻ˛āĻŋāĻ• āĻ°āĻŋāĻ—ā§āĻ°ā§‡āĻļāĻ¨: āĻœā§āĻŦāĻžāĻ˛āĻžāĻ¨ā§€ āĻĻāĻ•ā§āĻˇāĻ¤āĻžāĻ° āĻĒā§‚āĻ°ā§āĻŦāĻžāĻ­āĻžāĻ¸  |  TensorFlow Core
