The Challenge:
One of the main challenges was managing overfitting during training. The dataset's complexity and variability made it difficult to maintain generalization without loss of accuracy. Careful tuning of hyperparameters, including the learning rate and number of epochs, as well as the use of normalization and one-hot encoding, were crucial in developing a stable model.
