#seq
The tendency for gradients in a deep neural networks (especially recurrent neural networks) to become surprisingly steep (high). Steep gradients result in very large updates to the weights of each node in a deep neural network.
Models suffering from the exploding gradient problem become difficult or impossible to train. Gradient clipping can mitigate this problem.
Compare to vanishing gradient problem.
