Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a scenario where training a neural network takes too long due to oscillation in convergence. How might you apply Momentum or Nesterov techniques to address this?

💡 Hint: Think of how improving the path can create fewer obstacles in a race.

Challenge 2 Hard

You are training a model on a dataset that has a lot of noise. Discuss how adaptive learning rates can be beneficial and what techniques to employ.

💡 Hint: Consider how adaptive mechanisms help navigate uncertain environments.
