Question 1

What is a primary benefit of Convolutional Neural Networks over traditional ANNs?

Higher dimensionality
Spatial invariance
Flattening input images

💡 Hint: Think about how CNNs process image data differently than ANNs.

Question 2

True or False? Dropout helps improve the performance of neural networks by ensuring no single neuron becomes too important.

True
False

💡 Hint: Consider why it's important to limit reliance on specific neurons.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Explain how the architecture of a CNN would change if we were processing video data instead of still images. What additional considerations would need to be made?

💡 Hint: Consider what additional dimensions exist in video data.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design an experiment where you compare the performance of a custom-built CNN vs. a pre-trained model on the same image classification task. What metrics would you use to evaluate their performance?

💡 Hint: Think about different ways we measure model performance.
