Questions and Answers

Which of the following is the MOST significant goal of feature extraction in pattern recognition?

To reduce the dimensionality of the data while preserving relevant information. (correct)
To ensure all features are equally weighted in the classification process.
To increase the dimensionality of the data to capture more information.
To introduce irrelevant transformations in the data for robust pattern matching.

In the context of pattern recognition, what is the primary difference between supervised and unsupervised learning?

Supervised learning uses unlabeled data, while unsupervised learning uses labeled data.
Supervised learning is used for clustering, while unsupervised learning is used for classification.
Supervised learning models the conditional probability, while unsupervised learning models the joint probability.
Supervised learning uses training data with labels, while unsupervised learning uses training data without labels. (correct)
