What is the significance of the learning rate in training neural networks?
  1. It determines the number of layers
  2. It controls how much to change the model in response to the estimated error
  3. It sets the number of epochs
  4. It defines the architecture of the network

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the significance of the learning rate in training neural networks?
  • Step 1: Understand that a neural network learns by adjusting its weights based on errors it makes.
  • Step 2: The learning rate is a number that determines how big of a change we make to the weights after each error.
  • Step 3: If the learning rate is too high, the model might change the weights too much and become unstable, possibly missing the best solution.
  • Step 4: If the learning rate is too low, the model will change the weights very little, making the learning process slow and possibly getting stuck in a suboptimal solution.
  • Step 5: Finding the right learning rate is important for the model to learn effectively and efficiently.
