Why are we using an addition here instead of a negation? equation33 thanks

nafis95 commented 5 years ago

I had a similar question. For me negation worked and positive didnt work, so i just have that in my code. Not sure why it mentions positive in the readme

alecjacobson commented 5 years ago

The readme is correct. ∆a is the step direction. What direction should this be if using gradient descent? That is, ∆a = ?

I think this is just a matter of notation. If the change in a is negative as mentioned in the previous section, your equation would be then negative.
