Question 7

+3 marksOne or more correct options

You are adapting a neural network that was originally designed for a 10-class image classification problem to perform a regression task, specifically to predict the price of a car. Which of the following modifications are essential or standard practice for this conversion?

Select all that apply.

  1. A

    Change the activation function of the final output layer to a linear function.

  2. B

    Set the number of neurons in the output layer to one.

  3. C

    Change the loss function from Categorical Cross-Entropy to Mean SquaredError (MSE).

  4. D

    Use accuracy as the primary metric to evaluate the model’s performance.

  5. E

    Keep the softmax activation function in the output layer to scale the predictedprice.
