3.

Define supervised learning.

a)

Supervised learning is a method that requires no data.

b)

Supervised learning focuses solely on clustering data.

c)

Unsupervised learning uses labeled data for training.

d)

Supervised learning is a machine learning approach that uses labeled data to train models for making predictions.

4.

What is unsupervised learning?

a)

A method that requires labeled data for training.

b)

A process that eliminates all data noise before analysis.

c)

Unsupervised learning is a machine learning approach that finds patterns in data without labeled outcomes.

d)

A technique used only for classification tasks.

5.

Explain reinforcement learning.

a)

Reinforcement learning is a learning paradigm where an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with an environment to maximize cumulative rewards.

b)

Reinforcement learning involves training a model on static datasets without interaction.

c)

Reinforcement learning is a method for supervised learning using labeled data.

d)

Reinforcement learning is a technique for clustering data points into groups.

6.

What is a dataset in machine learning?

a)

A dataset is a single data point used for analysis.

b)

A dataset is a type of machine learning algorithm.

c)

A dataset is a collection of machine learning models.

d)

A dataset is a collection of data used for training and testing machine learning models.

7.

What is the purpose of training a model?

a)

The purpose of training a model is to enable it to learn from data and improve its performance on specific tasks.

b)

To eliminate the need for data preprocessing.

c)

To create a static model that does not change over time.

d)

To reduce the amount of data used in analysis.

8.

What is overfitting in machine learning?

a)

Overfitting is when a model performs poorly on both training and new data due to lack of data.

b)

Overfitting is when a model performs well on training data but poorly on new data due to excessive complexity.

c)

Overfitting happens when a model is trained on too much data, leading to confusion.

d)

Overfitting occurs when a model is too simple and cannot capture the underlying patterns.

9.

What is underfitting?

a)

Underfitting is when a model is too simplistic to learn from the data.

b)

Underfitting is when a model perfectly fits the training data.

c)

Underfitting happens when a model has too many parameters.

d)

Underfitting occurs when a model is too complex for the data.

10.

What is a feature in the context of machine learning?

a)

A feature is a dataset used for training a model.

b)

A feature is an individual measurable property or characteristic used as input for a machine learning model.

c)

A feature is a type of machine learning algorithm.

d)

A feature is the output of a machine learning model.

11.

What is the difference between classification and regression?

a)

Classification predicts categories; regression predicts continuous values.

b)

Classification is used for time series; regression is for image analysis.

c)

Classification requires labeled data; regression does not need any data.

d)

Classification predicts numerical values; regression predicts categories.

A confusion matrix is a type of neural network architecture.

c)

A confusion matrix is a statistical method for calculating averages.

d)

A confusion matrix is a graph that shows the distribution of data points.

14.

What role does data preprocessing play in machine learning?

a)

Data preprocessing is primarily focused on model selection.

b)

Data preprocessing is only necessary for supervised learning.

c)

Data preprocessing reduces the amount of data available for training.

d)

Data preprocessing enhances data quality and prepares it for effective machine learning model training.

15.

What is the significance of the training and test sets?

a)

The training set is for evaluation, and the test set is for learning.
