How to Use This Calculator
  1. Select the optimization algorithm (SGD, Adam, RMSProp, AdaGrad).
  2. Enter the learning rate, momentum (if applicable), and epsilon for numerical stability.
  3. Input the gradient magnitude at the current iteration.
  4. Review the effective learning rate and parameter update magnitude for the chosen optimizer.
  5. Use Adam as the default for most tasks and tune learning rate as the primary hyperparameter.
