What does the performance measure in a spam filter typically evaluate?

• The speed of the algorithm

• The ratio of correctly classified emails

• The number of emails processed

• The complexity of the rules

What is a drawback of the traditional approach to spam filtering?

• It is based on user feedback

• It requires a long list of complex rules

• It adapts to new spam techniques

• It is easy to maintain

In the Machine Learning approach, what is the benefit of using an algorithm?

• It is less efficient

• It needs constant updates

• It learns desired patterns on its own

• It requires more manual input

What is data mining in the context of Machine Learning?

• The process of cleaning data

• The discovery of patterns in large datasets

• Data is labeled with desired solutions

• Data is unlabeled

• No teacher is involved

What is the purpose of regression in supervised learning?

• To classify data into categories

• To predict a target numeric value

• To cluster similar data points

• To visualize data
