that answer somewhat vague and unsettled. Small number of matchings does not necessarily implies that the model overfits, especially given 500 (!) independent variables. To me, it sounds more reasonable that the threshold (matching) criterion might be too tight, thus allowing only a small number of matching to occur. So a solution can be either softening the threshold criterion or increasing the number of candidates.

Explanation: Reinforcement learning is the branch of machine learning where the algorithm interacts with the environment and gets rewards or penalizations Source
Q114. An organization that owns dozens of shopping malls want to create a machine learning product that will use facial recognition to identify customers. What is one of the main challenges with developing such a product?
- The images in the video would not be high-quality enough to identify individuals.
- It would be difficult to decide between supervised and unsupervised learning.
- It might be unethical for the business to identify people without their consent.
- Most machine learning algorithms are not designed for video.
Explanation: there are many ethical questions about consent and privacy in machine learning algorithms Source
- Unstructured data is much easier to store.
- Structured data has clearly defined data types.
- Unstructured data is always text.
- Structured data is much more popular.
Q116. You work for a startup that is trying to develop a software tool that will scan the internet for pictures of people using specific products. The chief executive is very interested in using machine learning algorithms. what would you recommend as the best place to start ?
- Create a data lake with an unsupervised machine learning alogrithm.
- Using an unsupervised machine learning algorithm to cluster together all the photographs
- Use supervised machine learning to classify photographs based on a predetermined training set.
- Use a combination of unsupervised and supervised machine learning to create machine-defined data clusters.
- The machine iterates through different models to continuously improve the outcome.
- The developer reinforces what they already know.
- The machine reinforces supervised learning.
- It is about reinforcing unknown data.
Explanation: Reinforcement learning is fundamentally an iterative process. Source
- True
- False
Explanation: Least squares regression is a method used to find the best-fitting linear relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. It minimizes the sum of the squared differences between the observed and predicted values, which is equivalent to maximizing the likelihood of the observed data under a Gaussian noise assumption.
Q118. You are part of data science team that is working for a national fast-food chain. You create a simple report that shows trend: Customers who visit the store more often and buy smaller meals spend more than customers who visit less frequently and buy larger meals. What is the most likely diagram that your team created?
- multiclass classification diagram
- linear regression and scatter plots
- pivot table
- K-means cluster diagram
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
Explanation: Radial Basis Functions are a special class of feed-forward neural networks consisting of three layers: an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer.
- Begins by hypothesizing a sentence (the symbol S) and successively predicting lower level constituents until individual preterminal symbols are written
- Begins by hypothesizing a sentence (the symbol S) and successively predicting upper level constituents until individual preterminal symbols are written
- Begins by hypothesizing lower level constituents and successively predicting a sentence (the symbol S)
- Begins by hypothesizing upper level constituents and successively predicting a sentence (the symbol S)
Explanation: A top-down parser begins by hypothesizing a sentence (the symbol S) and successively predicting lower level constituents until individual preterminal symbols are written.
- Best-first search
- Greedy best-first search
- A* search
- None of the mentioned
Explanation: Greedy best-first search is an informed search algorithm where the evaluation function is strictly equal to the heuristic function, disregarding the edge weights in a weighted graph. Source
- Quality of nodes
- Quality of heuristic function
- Simple form of nodes
- None of the mentioned
Explanation: Good heuristic can be constructed by relaxing the problem, So the performance of heuristic search can be improved.``
- It is used to parse sentences to check if they are utf-8 compliant.
- It is used to parse sentences to derive their most likely syntax tree structures.
- It is used to parse sentences to assign POS tags to all tokens.
- It is used to check if sentences can be parsed into meaningful tokens.
Explanation: Sentence parsers analyze a sentence and automatically build a syntax tree.
- Stemming
- Lemmatization
- Stop Word Removal
- None of the above
Explanation: Lemmatization and stemming are the techniques of keyword normalization.
- Drop missing rows or columns
- Replace missing values with mean/median/mode
- Assign a unique category to missing values
- All of the above
Explanation: All of the above techniques are different ways of imputing the missing values.
