Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Imagine a neural network with 3 layers including the input layer. If the network produces an output error of 0.5, explain how backpropagation would adjust the weights from the output back to the input layer.

💡 Hint: Consider how the error affects each layer's weights individually.

Challenge 2 Hard

What challenges might arise during the backpropagation process in a very deep neural network, and what techniques can be used to address them?

💡 Hint: Think about properties of activation functions and structural changes in the network.
