Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
