Which of the following options is correct?

  1. A

    Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.

  2. B

    Statement 1 is true, but Statement 2 is false.

Question 2

+2 marksOne correct option

How does unsupervised layerwise pretraining help in alleviating the vanishing gradient problem?

  1. A

    It allows the network to learn a better representation of the data in each layer, which leads to better- initialized weights for subsequent supervised training.

  2. B

    It adds skip connections to the network, which are then removed before the supervised training.

  3. C

    It replaces the sigmoid functions with ReLU functions during the pretraining phase.

  4. D

    It regularizes the network’s weights, making them smaller and less likely to cause the gradients to explode.
