Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Propose a scenario in which changing the learning rate dynamically during training could improve the convergence of Gradient Descent. Explain how you would implement this.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how small steps may help when you’re close to the minimum.

Question 2

Design a simple experiment to compare Batch Gradient Descent to Stochastic Gradient Descent on a given dataset, detailing the metrics you would use to measure performance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how to measure indirect effects like computation time and accuracy.
