Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a CNN architecture suitable for classifying handwritten digits using the MNIST dataset. Explain each layer's purpose, including how to implement pooling and dropout.

💡 Hint: Use a basic structure and expand with layers as needed.

Challenge 2 Hard

Imagine you are working on a transfer learning project. Describe how you would adapt a pre-trained CNN to classify images of cats and dogs.

💡 Hint: Focus on how the foundational layers can still be useful while modifying the classification head.
