What type of machine learning is used when only data is given, without labels?

Unsupervised Learning

What is the main difference between classification and clustering in machine learning?

Classification uses predefined classes, while clustering identifies similarities between objects

What is the goal of reinforcement learning in machine learning?

To learn to choose actions that maximize rewards

What type of learning uses both labeled and unlabeled data?

Semi-supervised Learning

What is the term used to describe the output variable in a classification predictive model?

Target

What is the primary task of classification predictive modeling in machine learning?

To approximate the mapping function from input variables to discrete output variables

What is the primary objective of classification in machine learning?

To predict the class or category of new data

What is a feature in the context of machine learning classification?

An individual measurable property of the phenomenon being observed

What is the purpose of the fit(X, y) method in scikit-learn?

To train the classifier with the training data

What type of classification has more than two outcomes?

Multi-Class Classification

What is the purpose of the predict(X) method in scikit-learn?

To predict the target label for an unlabeled observation

In K-NN algorithm, how is a test point classified?

By assigning the label that is most frequent among the K training samples nearest to that query point

What is the term used to describe the evaluation of the classification model?

Evaluation

What is the primary use of the Logistic Regression algorithm?

By returning the mean of K-nearest neighbors

What is the characteristic of how individual trees are built in an ensemble model?

On a subset of the features and the full set of observations

What is the assumption of a Naive Bayes classifier?

Features are independent of each other

How does a K-Nearest Neighbors classifier make predictions for discrete data?

By returning the most common class
