Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a machine learning model suffering from slow convergence when using standard gradient descent. How could you implement NAG to address this issue within a deep learning framework?

💡 Hint: Think about integrating adjustments into a backpropagation training process.

Challenge 2 Hard

When training a neural network with NAG, you notice it occasionally overshoots the minimum. Propose a way to mitigate this effect.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how careful tuning can influence model training.
