Section A

Answer all questions.

  1. What are the three essential components of a learning system? Give a definition of each. Give an example of each, including equations where necessary. (1 mark) A. Model, gradient descent, learning algorithm B. Error function, model, learning algorithm C. Accuracy, Sensitivity, Specificity D. Model, error function, cost function
  2. The error function most suited for gradient descent using logistic regression is

A. The entropy function B. The squared error C. The cross-entropy function D. The number of mistakes

  1. After SVM learning, each Lagrange multiplier αi takes either zero or non-zero value. What does it indicate in each situation? A. A non-zero αi indicates the datapoint i is a support vector, meaning it touches the margin boundary. B. A non-zero αi indicates that the learning has not yet converged to a global mini- mum. C. A zero αi indicates that the datapoint i has become a support vector datapoint, on the margin. D. A zero αi indicates that the learning process has identified support for vector i.

  1. Boosting is said to be a good classifier because A. It creates all ensemble members in parallel, so their diversity can be boosted. B. It attempts to minimise the margin distribution. C. It attempts to maximise the margins on the training data D. None of the above
  2. What does it mean to perform a data bootstrap? A. To sample M features with replacement from the total M. B. To sample M features without replacement from the total M. C. To sample N examples with replacement from the total N. D. To sample N examples without replacement from the total N.
  3. A doctor can run a test for the horrible disease Examophobia. The test has two possible outcomes: positive and negative. It is known that among all students, if Examophobia is present, the test comes out positive 80% of the time, and negative 20% of the time. If Examophobia is not present, the test comes out positive 1% of the time, negative 99%. Among the general student population, Examophobia is known to occur in 35% of all students. A student enters the clinic and tests positive for the disease. What is the probability they really have Examophobia? A. 0. B. 0. C. 0. D. 0.
