[[Machine learning]] relies on a [[hyperparameter]] called [[batch size]] which indicates how many [[examples]] should be run before changing internal model parameters. It is the number of examples in a [[batch]]. This number can vary based on both machine memory capacity and the needs of each model and dataset.

The batch size is a number that instructs the computer how many examples to consider before it changes its interpretation of data patterns. It's like learning your times tables: start with simpler ones (small numbers) and then progress onto more difficult ones (bigger figures). This helps the machine comprehend data more clearly and rapidly.
