exploding gradient problem

The exploding gradient problem is a significant challenge in training deep neural networks, particularly in recurrent neural networks (RNNs). It occurs when gradients become excessively large during backpropagation, leading to numerical instability and making it difficult for the model to converge. This issue can result in weights being updated to extreme values, causing the training process to fail. To mitigate the exploding gradient problem, techniques such as gradient clipping are employed, which involve scaling down the gradients to a manageable range. Understanding and addressing this problem is crucial for developing stable and effective neural network models.
