x = img.reshape((1,32,32,3))
x = img.reshape((3,32*32))
x = img.reshape((32*32,3))
x = img.reshape((32,32,3,1))

Q4. Consider the two following random arrays aa and bb:

a = np.random.randn(2, 3)a=np.random.randn(2,3) # a.shape = (2, 3)a.shape=(2,3)

b = np.random.randn(2, 1)b=np.random.randn(2,1) # b.shape = (2, 1)b.shape=(2,1)

c = a + b c=a+b

What will be the shape of cc?

c.shape = (3, 2)
c.shape = (2, 3)
The computation cannot happen because the sizes don’t match. It’s going to be “Error”!
c.shape = (2, 1)

Q5. Consider the two following random arrays aa and bb:

a = np.random.randn(4, 3)a=np.random.randn(4,3) # a.shape = (4, 3)a.shape=(4,3)

b = np.random.randn(3, 2)b=np.random.randn(3,2) # b.shape = (3, 2)b.shape=(3,2)

c = a*bc=a∗b

What will be the shape of cc?

c.shape = (4, 3)
The computation cannot happen because the sizes don’t match. It’s going to be “Error”!
c.shape = (3, 3)
c.shape = (4,2)

Q6. Recall that X = [x^{(1)} x^{(2)} … x^{(m)}]X=[x(1)x(2)…x(m)]. What is the dimension of X?

(n_x, m)
(m,n_x)
(m,1)
(1,m)

Q7. Recall that np.dot(a,b)np.dot(a,b) performs a matrix multiplication on aa and bb, whereas a*ba∗b performs an element-wise multiplication.

Consider the two following random arrays aa and bb:

a = np.random.randn(12288, 150)a=np.random.randn(12288,150) # a.shape = (12288, 150)a.shape=(12288,150)

b = np.random.randn(150, 45)b=np.random.randn(150,45) # b.shape = (150, 45)$$

c = np.dot(a,b)c=np.dot(a,b)

What is the shape of cc?

c.shape = (12288, 45)
c.shape = (12288, 150)
The computation cannot happen because the sizes don’t match. It’s going to be “Error”!
c.shape = (150,150)

Q8. Consider the following code snippet:

# a.shape = (3,4)a.shape=(3,4)

b.shape = (4,1)b.shape=(4,1)

for i in range(3):
for j in range(4):
c[i][j] = a[i][j] + b[j]c[i][j]=a[i][j]+b[j]

How do you vectorize this?

c = a + b
c = a.T + b.T
c = a.T + b
c = a + b.T

Q9. Consider the following code:

a = np.random.randn(3, 3)a=np.random.randn(3,3)

b = np.random.randn(3, 1)b=np.random.randn(3,1)

c = a*bc=a∗b

What will be cc? (If you’re not sure, feel free to run this in python to find out).

This will multiply a 3×3 matrix a with a 3×1 vector, thus resulting in a 3×1 vector. That is, c.shape = (3,1).
This will invoke broadcasting, so b is copied three times to become (3,3), and *∗ is an element-wise product so c.shape will be (3, 3)
This will invoke broadcasting, so b is copied three times to become (3, 3), and *∗ invokes a matrix multiplication operation of two 3×3 matrices so c.shape will be (3, 3)
It will lead to an error since you cannot use “*” to operate on these two matrices. You need to instead use np.dot(a,b)

Q10. Consider the following computation graph.

What is the output J?

J = (a – 1) * (b + c)
J = (b – 1) * (c + a)
J = (c – 1)*(b + a)
J = ab + bc + a*c

(1, 3)
(4, 1)
(4, )
(4, 3)

Q6. Suppose you have built a neural network. You decide to initialize the weights and biases to be zero. Which of the following statements is true?

The first hidden layer’s neurons will perform different computations from each other even in the first iteration; their parameters will thus keep evolving in their own way.
Each neuron in the first hidden layer will perform the same computation. So even after multiple iterations of gradient descent each neuron in the layer will be computing the same thing as other neurons.
Each neuron in the first hidden layer will perform the same computation in the first iteration. But after one iteration of gradient descent they will learn to compute different things because we have “broken symmetry”.
Each neuron in the first hidden layer will compute the same thing, but neurons in different layers will compute different things, thus we have accomplished “symmetry breaking” as described in lecture.

Q7. Logistic regression’s weights w should be initialized randomly rather than to all zeros, because if you initialize to all zeros, then logistic regression will fail to learn a useful decision boundary because it will fail to “break symmetry”, True/False?

True
False

Q8. You have built a network using the tanh activation for all the hidden units. You initialize the weights to relative large values, using np.random.randn(..,..)*1000. What will happen?

It doesn’t matter. So long as you initialize the weights randomly gradient descent is not affected by whether the weights are large or small.
This will cause the inputs of the tanh to also be very large, thus causing gradients to be close to zero. The optimization algorithm will thus become slow.
This will cause the inputs of the tanh to also be very large, thus causing gradients to also become large. You therefore have to set \alphaα to be very small to prevent divergence; this will slow down learning.
This will cause the inputs of the tanh to also be very large, causing the units to be “highly activated” and thus speed up learning compared to if the weights had to start from small values.

Q9. Consider the following 1 hidden layer neural network:

Z[1] and A^{[1]}A[1] are (4,2)
Z^{[1]}Z[1] and A^{[1]}A[1] are (4,m)
