What is the difference between gradient descent and gradient ascent?

Question

I am not able to find anything about gradient ascent. Any good link about gradient ascent demonstrating how it is different from gradient descent would help.

Answer 1

It is not different. Gradient ascent is just the process of maximizing, instead of minimizing, a loss function. Everything else is entirely the same. Ascent for some loss function, you could say, is like gradient descent on the negative of that loss function.
