Can you discuss the theory behind dropout in neural networks and how it helps prevent overfitting?

What are the key differences between SGD (Stochastic Gradient Descent) with momentum, RMSprop, and Adam optimizers in deep learning? How do these differences impact the convergence speed and stability of training deep neural networks?

Why do residual connections in networks like ResNets allow us to train much deeper models without running into the vanishing gradient problem? What theoretical concept underlies their success?

How do I implement a convolutional neural network in PyTorch?

How would you implement a dropout layer in a TensorFlow model for a deep neural network, and what considerations should be taken into account when deciding the dropout rate?

Could you demonstrate how to manually implement batch normalization in PyTorch?
