We derive conditions for this sweet spot for a broad class of learning algorithms in the context of binary classification tasks. For all of these stochastic gradient-descent based learning algorithms, we find that the optimal error rate for training is around<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-019-12552-4\">The Eighty Five Percent Rule for optimal learning | Nature Communications<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here, we examine the role of a single variable, the difficulty of training, on the rate of learning.
