What is the role of the optimizer in training a neural network?

Step 1: Understand that a neural network has weights that determine how it makes predictions.
Step 2: During training, the network makes predictions and compares them to the actual results using a loss function.
Step 3: The loss function calculates how far off the predictions are from the actual results.
Step 4: The optimizer uses the information from the loss function to find out how to change the weights to improve predictions.
Step 5: The optimizer adjusts the weights in small steps based on the gradients, which show the direction to change the weights to reduce the loss.
Step 6: This process is repeated many times until the network learns to make better predictions.
