Can someone please elaborate on Gradient Descent vs Newton's Method? I am studying for my ML exam tomorrow and saw this as a bullet point but cannot find many great answers. Can anyone fill me in some details on the both of these, as deep as you would like to go.

    There is some discussion here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_method_in_optimization And here: https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/253632/why-is-newtons-method-not-widely-used-in-machine-learning?rq=1 – thomaskeefe May 12 '20 at 02:49
  • You can also have a look at Andrew's Ng lecture notes on supervised learning (paragraph 7) : http://cs229.stanford.edu/syllabus.html – Camille Gontier May 12 '20 at 07:42
