Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a neural network with an unexpected spike in loss after several epochs of training. Discuss the possible causes and how backpropagation may be adapted to address this issue.

💡 Hint: Think about how various parameters can affect network behavior.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain how backpropagation would need to change if you were to implement it on a network with recurrent connections, as seen in RNNs.

💡 Hint: Consider how feedback from one layer influences future inputs in RNNs.
