32 Questions
Why do we need both validation and testing sets?
We need both validation and testing sets to evaluate the model's performance and ensure that it can generalize well.
What is the purpose of the training set in machine learning?
The training set is used for the model to learn the behavior and patterns in the data.
What is K-fold cross-validation?
K-fold cross-validation is a technique to validate the model's performance by dividing the dataset into k subsets and using each subset as the testing set while the remaining k-1 subsets are used for training.
How is the confusion matrix used in classification?
The confusion matrix is used to evaluate the performance of a classification model by comparing the actual and predicted classes.
What are the different types of cross-validation techniques mentioned in the text?
The different types of cross-validation mentioned are K-fold cross-validation and Holdout cross-validation.
Why is it important for training examples in supervised learning to include both the predictor variables and the corresponding output variable?
It is important to include both predictor variables and the corresponding output variable to train the model to understand the relationship between the input and output and make accurate predictions.
What is the purpose of the testing set?
To evaluate the performance of the model and ensure that it can generalize well to new, unseen data points.
Why do we need both validation and testing sets?
To increase the generalizing capability of the model on new unseen data and to avoid overfitting the test data.
What is the purpose of cross-validation?
To evaluate deep learning models on a limited data sample and to perform model evaluation and resampling.
What is K-fold cross-validation?
It is a method where the data sample is split into 'k' number of equal-sized partitions, and one fold is used for testing while the other K-1 folds are used for training.
What does the training accuracy help in evaluating during the training phase?
Whether the model has been overfitted.
Why should the testing accuracy be compared against the training accuracy?
To ensure that the model was not overfitted.
What is the purpose of the validation set?
To find the optimal values for the hyperparameters of the used model.
Why should the final model not be further tuned after assessing it over the testing set?
Evaluating on test data many times will quickly overfit the test data.
How does K-fold cross-validation use the partitions of the dataset?
One partition is used for testing, and the remaining K-1 partitions are used for training.
What does the parameter 'k' refer to in K-fold cross-validation?
The number of groups that a given data sample is to be split into.
