Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is B) A regularization technique randomly "dropping" neurons during training to prevent co-adaptation and reduce overfitting

B

Correct Answer

A regularization technique randomly "dropping" neurons during training to prevent co-adaptation and reduce overfitting

Explanation

Dropout: randomly set each neuron output to 0 with probability p during training. Forces the network to learn redundant representations. At inference, outputs are scaled by (1-p). Acts as ensemble of thinned networks.
