They give you the current values of the model parameters $a$ and $b$, and a new data point $(x,y)$, and they request to perform one training step with gradient descent using the data point, and returning the updated values for $a$ and $b$. The problem with your code is that the sign of the learning rate is wrong in the parameter update. If you change it to ...

Firstly, when you have an imbalanced dataset accuracy is not a good metric to be using (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_and_recall#Imbalanced_data). You should consider what the ultimate use-case of this model is and what metric is properly capturing the performance of the model considering that use case. For example, when classifying the ...

I suppose that you want to fit a logistic function to your data. A general form of logistic function is : $$y(x)=a+\frac{b}{1+c\: e^{-p\:x}}$$ So they are four parameters $a,c,b,p$ to optimize. The usual method is a non-linear regression calculus. This is an iterative process which requires 'guessed' initial values for the parameters to start the iteration. ...
