Oct 5, 2018 at 17:44 comment added induction601 However, I am not sure how the node-switching invariant can be interpreted as finding a very good minimizer. I mean, how do we meausre "goodness" of minimizer, unless it can be quantified by $\|\theta^* - \theta_{local}\| \le \delta$ or $\|\mathcal{L}(\theta^*) - \mathcal{L}(\theta_{local})\| \le \epsilon$?
Oct 5, 2018 at 17:42 comment added induction601 Thanks for your answer. I am aware that the gradient method can find the global minimizer if the cost function is convex and its gradient satisfies a certain condition, e.g., Lipschitz continuous or/and uniformly bounded gradient. Also, I am aware that the gradient method eventually (if it converges) find a local minimum under the certain conditions.
