Local Minimum

Domain: Math & Logic for AI

🎯 Motivation

A low point that is not the lowest overall. Gradient descent can get stuck here.

📋 Concrete Example

On a bumpy loss surface, the gradient might lead to a small valley that is not the deepest point.

🔗 Analogy

Like resting in a small ditch on a mountainside - you are low locally, but not at the valley floor.
