This chapter explores the concept of mini-batches in neural network training, using the analogy of eating a pizza in smaller bites. It explains how mini-batches improve processing efficiency and prevent overwhelming the network with large datasets, emphasizing the importance of data shuffling and clean labels for effective learning.
Mini-batches prevent overwhelming the network with the whole dataset at once.
Shuffling data ensures a good mix of features in each batch.
Clean data (no label noise) is crucial for accurate learning.
