How do you handle overfitting in a model?

Виберіть кілька правильних відповідей

Increasing the amount of training data.

By using data augmentation.

By using highly complex models.

By using a regularization technique.

Explain bias-variance trade-off.

Виберіть правильну відповідь

It's about choosing the optimal number of clusters in KMeans.

It's the balance between a model's flexibility and its ability to generalize to unseen data.

It's the trade-off between L1 and L2 regularization.

It's the decision between early stopping and training for more epochs.

What is early stopping in the context of training a model?

Виберіть правильну відповідь

It's a regularization technique involving the magnitude of coefficients.

It's a method to prevent overfitting by terminating training once a certain condition is met, often when the validation loss starts increasing.

It's a technique to balance datasets.

How would you handle imbalanced datasets?

Виберіть кілька правильних відповідей

By using L1 or L2 regularization techniques.

With early stopping during training.

By using methods like oversampling, undersampling, or synthetic data generation.

By adding weights to classes.

Which of the following best describes the difference between data normalization and scaling?

Виберіть правильну відповідь

Normalization is about making data follow a Gaussian distribution while scaling adjusts the range of the data.

Scaling involves converting data to a range between 0 and 1, while normalization makes data zero-centered.

Both normalization and scaling adjust the range of data to between 0 and 1.

How does cross-validation work?

Виберіть правильну відповідь

It trains the model on the entire dataset and then tests on the same dataset.

It divides the dataset into 'k' equal partitions and uses each partition as a test set while the remaining parts as a training set, iterating 'k' times.

It trains the model once on a random subset and tests on the remaining data.

It tests the model 'k' times on the same validation set after training on the whole dataset.

Which statement best describes the difference between precision and recall?

Виберіть правильну відповідь

Precision is the number of true positives divided by the number of true positives plus false negatives, while recall is the number of true positives divided by the number of true positives plus false positives.

Precision measures the number of correct predictions, while recall measures the number of false predictions.

Precision focuses on the accuracy of the positive predictions, while recall focuses on capturing as many positives as possible.

Which kind of models are utilized by the bagging ensemble method?

Виберіть правильну відповідь

Different types of models for each ensemble.

Same type models for each ensemble.

Exclusively for Decision Trees.

Exclusively for shallow Neural Networks.

How does a Random Forest algorithm function?

Виберіть правильну відповідь

It builds multiple decision trees and averages their results.

It constructs a single decision tree with random feature selection.

It uses randomness to choose the depth of a single decision tree.

Which of the following is not an ensemble method?

Виберіть правильну відповідь

Boosting

Bagging

Stacking

Scaling

In which scenario is a high recall more important than high precision?

Виберіть правильну відповідь
