Questions and Answers

What is the main benefit of having normalized coefficients in the context of hyperplane classification?

  • It speeds up the training process of the maximal margin hyperplane classifier.
  • It simplifies the calculations involved in finding the perpendicular distance between a data point and the hyperplane. (correct)
  • It guarantees that the hyperplane will perfectly separate the data points in the training set.
  • It simplifies the visualization of the hyperplane in high-dimensional feature space.
  • In the context of maximal margin classifier, what does it mean when a data point is linearly separable?

  • The data point lies exactly on the hyperplane.
  • The data point can be perfectly separated by a hyperplane from other data points of a different class. (correct)
  • The data point cannot be correctly classified by any hyperplane.
  • The data point is an outlier that needs to be removed before training the classifier.
  • What is the role of the parameter M in the optimization problem for finding the maximal margin hyperplane?

  • To ensure that the hyperplane passes through the origin.
  • To determine the specific range of values that each coefficient can take.
  • To adjust the dimensionality of the feature space.
  • To enforce the margin between the hyperplane and the closest data point from each class. (correct)
  • How would increasing the number of dimensions in the feature space impact the complexity of finding the maximal margin hyperplane?
