Data Science Decoded  

Data Science Decoded

Author: Mike E

We discuss seminal mathematical papers (sometimes really old ) that have shaped and established the fields of machine learning and data science as we know them today. The goal of the podcast is to introduce you to the evolution of these fields from a mathematical and slightly philosophical perspective. We will discuss the contribution of these papers, not just from pure a math aspect but also how they influenced the discourse in the field, which areas were opened up as a result, and so on. Our podcast episodes are also available on our youtube: https://youtu.be/wThcXx_vXjQ?sivnMfs

Data Science #26 - The First Gradient decent algorithm by Cauchy (1847)
Sunday, 23 March, 2025

In this episode, we review Cauchy’s 1847 paper, which introduced an iterative method for solving simultaneous equations by minimizing a function using its partial derivatives. Instead of elimination, he proposed progressively reducing the function’s value through small updates, forming an early version of gradient descent. His approach allowed systematic approximation of solutions, influencing numerical optimization.This work laid the foundation for machine learning and AI, where gradient-based methods are essential. Modern stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and deep learning training algorithms follow Cauchy’s principle of stepwise minimization. His ideas power optimization in neural networks, making AI training efficient and scalable.
