How can we get gradient with some other loss function apart from MSE?

Question

In most of the gradient search examples, the update to weights are done by subtracting the derivative of MSE.
Can we have an example, where we did not use derivative of MSE, but used derivative of some other loss function?
If so, please show the Python code.

Yes we have. MSE loss function is usually used for regression problems. We can have different loss functions according to our needs. Follow the article below.
