What rhymes with stochastic gradient descent?
sto·chas·tic gra·di·ent descent

Stochastic gradient descent (often shortened to SGD), also known as incremental gradient descent, is an iterative method for optimizing a differentiable objective function, a stochastic approximation of gradient descent optimization. A 2018 article implicitly credits Herbert Robbins and Sutton Monro for developing SGD in their 1951 article titled "A Stochastic Approximation Method"; see Stochastic approximation for more information. It is called stochastic because samples are selected randomly (or shuffled) instead of as a single group (as in standard gradient descent) or in the order they appear in the training set.
