Method minimize

tensorflow/python/training/optimizer.py:418–476

Add operations to minimize `loss` by updating `var_list`. This method simply combines calls `compute_gradients()` and `apply_gradients()`. If you want to process the gradient before applying them call `compute_gradients()` and `apply_gradients()` explicitly instead of using this fun

    Args:
      loss: A `Tensor` containing the value to minimize.
      global_step: Optional `Variable` to increment by one after the
        variables have been updated.
      var_list: Optional list or tuple of `Variable` objects to update to
        minimize `loss`.  Defaults to the list of variables collected in
        the graph under the key `GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES`.
      gate_gradients: How to gate the computation of gradients.  Can be
        `GATE_NONE`, `GATE_OP`, or  `GATE_GRAPH`.
      aggregation_method: Specifies the method used to combine gradient terms.
        Valid values are defined in the class `AggregationMethod`.
      colocate_gradients_with_ops: If True, try colocating gradients with
        the corresponding op.
      name: Optional name for the returned operation.
      grad_loss: Optional. A `Tensor` holding the gradient computed for `loss`.

    Returns:
      An Operation that updates the variables in `var_list`.  If `global_step`
      was not `None`, that operation also increments `global_step`.

    Raises:
      ValueError: If some of the variables are not `Variable` objects.

    @compatibility(eager)
    When eager execution is enabled, `loss` should be a Python function that
    takes no arguments and computes the value to be minimized. Minimization (and
    gradient computation) is done with respect to the elements of `var_list` if
    not None, else with respect to any trainable variables created during the
    execution of the `loss` function. `gate_gradients`, `aggregation_method`,
    `colocate_gradients_with_ops` and `grad_loss` are ignored when eager
    execution is enabled.
