Interactive Quizzes

Quick quizzes to reinforce your learning

Question 1

What could happen if the learning rate is set too low?

The model diverges
Convergence becomes slow
No learning occurs

💡 Hint: Remember the speed of convergence.

Question 2

Local minima can mislead optimization because:

True
False

💡 Hint: Think about the landscape analogy of hills.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are training a neural network but notice it becomes inconsistent due to the learning rate. Describe a plan to adjust it and test its effectiveness.

💡 Hint: Consider automated approaches like learning rate schedules.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain how you would approach the situation where your model consistently gets stuck at a local minimum during optimization.

💡 Hint: Think creatively about initiating the optimization process.
