Deep Learning CNN Convolutional Neural Networks with Python - Rprop and Momentum Solution

The video tutorial explains an equation with two terms: the learning rate and momentum. The learning rate updates existing weights, while momentum considers previous weight changes to optimize current weights. This approach helps find optimal points in a convex or loss function.

What is the primary role of the learning rate in the equation discussed?

• To decrease the weights

• To update the existing weights

• To increase the momentum

• To stabilize the loss function

What does the momentum term in the equation involve?

• A factor that increases the loss function

• A constant multiplied by the change in weights from the previous epoch

• A constant multiplied by the current weights

• A variable that decreases the learning rate

How does momentum contribute to weight updates in machine learning?

• By only considering the current epoch's weights

• By ignoring the previous epoch's weights

• By resetting the weights to zero

• By considering both current and previous epoch's weights

Why is momentum useful in optimization?

• It stabilizes the weight updates

• It decreases the number of epochs needed

• It helps in finding the optimal points in a convex function

• It increases the learning rate

What is the effect of momentum on the loss function?

• It decreases the learning rate

• It has no effect

• It helps in finding optimal points

• It increases the loss
