Stochastic Approximation: Theory and Applications

Worth knowing: Lectures are free. The certificate is optional and needs a proctored exam that costs ₹1,000.

Stochastic approximation refers to a class of iterative algorithms that can locate zeroes or optimal points of functions in scenarios where the function evaluations are compromised by noise. These algorithms are prominently utilized in regression, system identification, adaptive control, and increasingly in reinforcement learning and machine learning.
