4. Suppose that we apply Dropout regularization to a feed forward neural network. Suppose further that mini-batch gradient descent algorithm is used for updating the parameters of the network. Choose the correct statement(s) from the following statements.
- The dropout probability p can be different for each hidden layer
- Batch gradient descent cannot be used to update the parameters of the network
- Dropout with p=0.5 acts as a ensemble regularize
- The weights of the neurons which were dropped during the forward propagation at tth iteration will not get updated during t+1th iteration

10. Consider the problem of recognizing an alphabet (in upper case or lower case) of English language in an image. There are 26 alphabets in the language. Therefore, a team decided to use CNN network to solve this problem. Suppose that data augmentation technique is being used for regularization. Then which of the following transformation(s) on all the training images is (are) appropriate to the problem
- Rotating the images by ±10∘
- Rotating the images by ±180∘
- Translating image by 1 pixel in all direction
- Cropping
