• The Exploding Gradient Problem

  Similar to the vanishing gradient problem, the issue of exploding gradients arises during backpropagation. In this chain-reaction-like scenario, gradients become excessively large, causing model weights to grow uncontrollably. This instability often leads to numerical overflow, which results in a ‘Not a Number’ (NaN) error. Spotting the Exploding Gradient Problem Exploding gradients are a tell-tale sign…
