Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the formula for the momentum update?

  • v_t = γv_{t-1} + η∇J(θ); θ := θ - v_t

💡 Hint: Look for the structure that involves both current and past information.

Question 2

True or False: Momentum helps in faster convergence during optimization.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how acceleration can affect motion.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a scenario with conflicting gradients, analyze how momentum would impact convergence, particularly in avoiding local minima while navigating restrictions.

💡 Hint: Consider how momentum can act like a strong current helping a boat move through varying waters.

Question 2

Evaluate how different values of γ (e.g., 0.1 vs 0.9) change the behavior of convergence in a noisy environment.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how responsiveness varies in fast vs slow reactions—sometimes a slower response is more stable.
