Machine Learning Quiz Questions and Answers
Question 1
What is overfitting in the context of machine learning models?
Fitting a model with insufficient data
Fitting a model too closely to the training data
Fitting a model with too few features
Fitting a model to the validation set
Question 2
In reinforcement learning, what is the role of the exploration-exploitation trade-off?
Balancing the use of supervised and unsupervised learning
Balancing the trade-off between precision and recall
Balancing the trade-off between exploring new actions and exploiting known actions
All of the above
Question 3
How does the choice of a loss function impact the training of a machine learning model?
The loss function has no impact on training
The loss function determines the optimization objective
The loss function defines the model's architecture
The choice of loss function only impacts model evaluation
Question 4
Explain the concept of "latent variables" in probabilistic graphical models.
Variables that are not observed directly but inferred from observed variables
Variables that are directly measured in the dataset
Variables representing missing data
Variables used to encode temporal information
Question 5
What is the difference between bagging and boosting in ensemble learning?
Bagging increases model diversity, boosting decreases it
Bagging trains models sequentially, boosting trains them in parallel
Bagging combines predictions using voting, boosting combines predictions using weighted averaging
Bagging trains each model independently, boosting focuses on examples misclassified by previous models
Question 6
What is the concept of entropy in the context of decision trees?
The measure of impurity or disorder in a set of data
The depth of the decision tree
The ratio of training to testing data
The number of leaf nodes in the tree
Question 7
What is the purpose of the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm in unsupervised learning?
Maximizing the likelihood of the observed data
Minimizing the reconstruction error in autoencoders
Imputing missing values in a dataset
Iteratively estimating parameters for mixture models
Question 8
What is the role of the learning_rate parameter in gradient descent optimization?
The speed at which the algorithm converges
The regularization strength applied to the model
The number of iterations in the optimization process
The size of the steps taken during each iteration
Question 9
What is the purpose of the epochs parameter in neural network training?
The number of layers in the neural network
The number of training examples processed in one iteration
The learning rate for weight updates
The number of complete passes through the entire training dataset
Question 10
How does the choice of a kernel impact the performance of a Support Vector Machine (SVM)?
The kernel has no impact on SVM performance
The kernel determines the SVM's maximum margin
The kernel defines the transformation of input features into a higher-dimensional space
The kernel influences the learning rate during training
