If the error function itself is real-valued, then this can be done by considering every complex parameter as two parameters (real and imaginary parts) and carrying out GD with respect to these (twice as many) real parameters. If the error function is complex, then there needs to be a definition of what the objective is since a "minimum complex number" is not a well-defined notion.
