Question 1

Consider a neural network that exhibits significant overfitting during training. Propose a strategy combining L1 and L2 regularization to improve its performance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: How can combining penalties help create a stronger model?

Question 2

Explain how you would implement dropout in a training regime for a deep learning model with several layers to balance robustness and performance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: How do you ensure the model can still learn effectively while using dropout?
