Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of unsupervised learning clustering?

  • To estimate the probability that an instance belongs to a particular class
  • To predict a continuous output variable
  • To impose a small penalty on model complexity
  • To divide data into distinct groups based on similarities (correct)

In the k-means algorithm, what is done in the E-Step?

  • Assigning points to the nearest cluster center (correct)
  • Guessing some cluster centers
  • Setting the cluster centers to the mean
  • Calculating the slope of the cost function

What is used to ensure that a model is not overfitting to the training data?

  • Estimating the probability that an instance belongs to a particular class
  • Regularization (correct)
  • Imposing a small penalty on model complexity
  • Setting the cluster centers to the mean
