One of the key elements that significantly impacts model success is the learning rate. Leading deep learning researcher Yoshua Bengio said that learning rate is the single most important hyperparameter, and one should always make sure that it has been tuned. If there is only time to optimize one hyperparameter, then this is the hyperparameter that is worth tuning.

In this blog, we’ll demystify the importance of optimizing learning rates for enhanced model performance. From laying the groundwork with an overview of learning rates to practical insights on where to start, we’ll cover essential topics such as learning rate decay and adaptive learning. 

Whether you’re just starting or a seasoned practitioner, this guide is tailored to simplify the crucial task of tuning learning rates for anyone keen on improving deep learning model efficacy.
