Deep Learning Optimizers Demystified: Momentum, AdaGrad, RMSProp & Adam Explained

This article breaks down the core deep‑learning optimizers—gradient descent, Momentum, AdaGrad, RMSProp and Adam—showing why vanilla gradient descent converges slowly, how each method uses exponential moving averages to accelerate training, and why Adam is generally the preferred choice.
