Stochastic gradient descent is an optimization algorithm that iteratively updates parameters by computing the gradient of an objective function on randomly sampled mini-batches of data rather than the full dataset, trading gradient accuracy for computational efficiency. It is parameterized by learning rate, mini-batch size, and number of iterations, and persists through implementation in optimization libraries and computational frameworks.

Judgments (4)
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves SGD: iterative update, mini-batch gradient, parameters. Law 6 trailer present.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition correctly describes SGD as an optimization algorithm using mini-batch gradient approximation. Carves the concept with parameters (iterative updates, random sampling, objective function). Trailer present with form/substrate/horizon/epoch.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition correctly describes SGD's mechanism (random mini-batch gradient approximation), its purpose (scalable optimization), and what distinguishes it from full-batch GD. The trailer is present and appropriate.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Well-carved definition of SGD. States what it is (optimization algorithm), the mechanism (iterative updates using gradients on mini-batches), and how it differs from full-batch GD. The trailer is present and the definition carves the concept precisely.
