Newton’s method is much faster than other techniques like gradient descent, which are widely used in today’s machine learning models. Mathematicians have long tried to improve Newton’s method.

This paper discusses the use of the linear conjugate-gradient method (developed via the Lanczos method) in the solution of large-scale unconstrained minimization problems. At each iteration of a ...

Newton method, invented by physicist Isaac Newton about 300 years ago, is an algorithm that still plays an important role in a wide range of fields, including logistics, financial engineering ...
