Which of the following scenarios best illustrates the concept of 'overfitting' in machine learning?
Which of the following scenarios best illustrates the concept of 'overfitting' in machine learning?
- A model performs poorly on both the training data and unseen data due to its simplicity.
- A model captures noise in the training data, leading to high accuracy on the training set but poor generalization to new data. (correct)
- A model fails to learn the underlying patterns in the training data, resulting in low accuracy on both training and unseen datasets.
- A model achieves perfect accuracy on both the training data and unseen data, indicating optimal performance.
Which of the following statements accurately describes the bias-variance tradeoff in machine learning?
Which of the following statements accurately describes the bias-variance tradeoff in machine learning?
- As model complexity decreases, bias decreases, but variance increases.
- Decreasing model complexity always reduces both bias and variance.
- As model complexity increases, bias decreases, but variance increases. (correct)
- Increasing model complexity always reduces both bias and variance.
In the context of feature selection, what is the primary goal of using techniques like Principal Component Analysis (PCA)?
In the context of feature selection, what is the primary goal of using techniques like Principal Component Analysis (PCA)?
- To reduce the dimensionality of the data while preserving important information. (correct)
- To increase the number of features to improve model accuracy.
- To eliminate all irrelevant features from the dataset.
- To identify the most relevant features for the model.
