Question

Vanishing/Exploding Gradients - What causes vanishing gradients?

Answer

Deep Neural Network (DNN) optimization methods and activation function selection are major contributors to the vanishing gradient issue. It is common for this issue to surface when the partial derivative of the loss function with regard to weights is diminutive. The vanishing gradient problem can be exacerbated by the complexity of DNNs.
