Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are tasked with designing a CNN to detect objects in a series of images. Explain how the configuration of convolutional layers, including the number and arrangement of blocks, would impact the performance of your model.

💡 Hint: Consider what kind of objects you're detecting and how different layers might handle those features.

Challenge 2 Hard

Reflect on a situation where adding a second convolutional block might not be beneficial for a dataset. What factors would lead to this decision, and how would you justify not adding more layers?

💡 Hint: What would happen to the model’s ability to generalize with overly complex architectures on limited data?
