# learningRate

The learning rate.

## Declaration

```swift
var learningRate: Float
```

## Discussion

Discussion The learning rate controls how much the model changes when presented with new data. A high learning rate may overshoot when close to a solution, while a low learning rate my take too long to train a good model. Defaults to 0.001.
