Flashcards

Overfitting (In Machine Learning)

Overfitting occurs when a model learns the training data's specific characteristics too well, leading to poor performance on new, unseen data. This happens because the model picks up on noise or irrelevant patterns in the training data, making it unable to generalize to different scenarios.

Possible N-grams in a Sequence

In a sequence with a vocabulary of V possible words, the number of possible n-grams (sequences of n consecutive words) is V raised to the power of n. This represents all the combinations of n words you could potentially observe.

Total N-grams in a Sequence

The total number of n-grams observed in a sequence of length L is L minus (n-1). This formula considers that you can't form an n-gram from the first (n-1) elements.

Total N-grams with Special Tokens

If a dataset has N sequences and T total tokens, adding a special token at the beginning and end of each sequence increases the total number of n-grams by 3N minus (n-1)N. This calculation accounts for the extra tokens at the start and end of each sequence.

Image Patches: Number of Possibilities

When extracting patches of size (m x n) from an image of size (W x H) by centering them on each pixel (using padding if needed), the total number of possible patches is equal to the product of the dimensions of the image, W * H. This is because you can center a patch on every pixel within the image.

Bigrams in Conversation Tree

In representing a conversation tree with pairwise features of bigrams, considering a vocabulary of V possible words, the total number of bigrams you can create is the same as the theoretical maximum number of n-grams. This means: V^2 .

Study Notes

Quiz on Feature Encoding for Structured Data

Overfitting: Overfitting occurs when a model learns the characteristics of the training data too well, including the noise, leading to poor performance on new, unseen data. It is not from a model being too simple (underfitting).
Overfitting (cont.): Overfitting is when the model has learned the training data's characteristics so significantly that it cannot generalize well to other, unseen data. This happens when the model is unnecessarily complex, fitting the training data's noise instead of its underlying patterns.
Overfitting (cont.): Overfitting doesn't result from high regularization. Instead, it occurs because a complex model focuses on noise from training data rather than the underlying pattern in data.
N-grams: Given a dataset with V vocabulary and n-gram length, there are in theory Vⁿ possible n-grams. (this answer pertains to question 2)
Sequence Length and N-grams: In a sequence of length L, the total number of n-grams is L - (n - 1). (This answer pertains to question 3)
N-grams in Multiple Sequences: Given N sequences and a total of T tokens, with <S> and </S> tokens at the start/end, the total possible n-grams are T + N(3-n). (answer for question 4).
Image Patches: With an image of size W x H, and patches of size m x n, (W - m + 1)(H - n + 1) patches can be created. (answer for question 5)
Bigram Features in Conversation Tree: With V possible words, V² possible bigram features can exist in a conversation tree. (answer for question 6)
Bigram Features from Parent-Reply: For a parent message with A tokens and a reply with B tokens, (A -1) * (B - 1) bigram features can be found using both the parent and response text. (answer for question 7)
Sequence Encoding (Vectors): Encoding a sequence as a vector of word indices (like [42, 11, 2, 7, 11, 2]) can be done correctly with linear models. (answer for question 8)
