Learning

Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is backpropagation?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how errors are reversed through the network.

Question 2

Easy

Define learning rate in the context of gradient descent.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what happens if the step is too big or too small.
