Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a model performing well on training data but poorly on validation data. Design a strategy using Dropout to enhance the model's performance.

💡 Hint: Analyze how the dropout impacts the overfitting issue identified.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create a plan for tuning the dropout rate in your network. What factors would you consider while determining whether to increase or decrease the rate?

💡 Hint: Link the dropout adjustments to performance outcomes in training vs. validation for effective tuning.
