Topic #: 7

[All Professional Machine Learning Engineer Questions]

You need to train a computer vision model that predicts the type of government ID present in a given image using a GPU-powered virtual machine on Compute Engine. You use the following parameters:

* Optimizer: SGD

* Image shape = 224x224

* Batch size = 64

* Epochs = 10

* Verbose = 2

During training you encounter the following error: ResourceExhaustedError: out of Memory (oom) when allocating tensor. What should you do?

AChange the optimizer

BReduce the batch size

CChange the learning rate

DReduce the image shape

Not sure if just lowering the batch size is enough...

Wait, can reducing image size really solve this?

Changing the optimizer won't help with memory issues.

I agree, batch size affects memory usage a lot.

Reducing the batch size is usually a good first step.

I recall that adjusting the learning rate usually affects convergence speed, but I'm not convinced it would help with an out of memory error.

I practiced a similar question where reducing the image size helped with memory constraints. Maybe that could work here too?

I remember we discussed how reducing the batch size can help with memory issues during training. It seems like a good option here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think changing the optimizer might not directly solve the out of memory error. It feels like a workaround rather than a fix.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the capabilities of Automation script settings.

Hmm, this looks tricky. I'll need to carefully review the options and think through the potential causes.

I'm a bit confused about the default action of an IP filter. Is it to forward or drop packets? I'll need to double-check that detail.

I've got this! The X part represents the major version of MySQL. That's the most important part of the version number, so it makes sense that it would be denoted by the X.
