Q76 / 100
What is the purpose of the learning rate schedule (e.g., step decay or cosine annealing) during training?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is B) To systematically adjust the learning rate over the course of training — often starting higher for faster initial progress and decreasing later for fine-grained convergence near a minimum
B
Correct Answer
To systematically adjust the learning rate over the course of training — often starting higher for faster initial progress and decreasing later for fine-grained convergence near a minimum
Explanation
A learning rate schedule changes the step size used in gradient updates over time. A common pattern is to start with a larger learning rate to make rapid progress and gradually reduce it so the optimizer can settle into a minimum without overshooting.
