The theory of stochastic processes, at least in terms of its application to physics, started with einsteins work on the theory of brownian motion. In this paper, we establish a generalization of the classical central limit theorem for a family of stochastic processes that includes stochastic gradient descent and related gradientbased algorithms. A central limit theorem gives a scaling limit for the sum of a sequence of random variables. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
