In the context of the text, what is the main lesson learned from using fish length as a discriminating feature?
In the context of the text, what is the main lesson learned from using fish length as a discriminating feature?
- Fish length in combination with lightness provides the best classification results
- Fish length is not a reliable feature for accurate classification
- Fish length should be used in conjunction with other features for accurate classification (correct)
- Fish length alone is sufficient for accurate classification
What is the primary issue with using a complicated decision boundary for classification?
What is the primary issue with using a complicated decision boundary for classification?
- It results in a high level of generalization on the testing data
- It leads to significant overfitting of the training data (correct)
- It simplifies the classification process and leads to inaccurate results
- It ensures accurate classification on new and unseen data
What can be concluded from the classification error of 4% when using both length and lightness features?
What can be concluded from the classification error of 4% when using both length and lightness features?
- The features provide an ideal decision boundary
- The features result in a higher error rate compared to using only one feature
- The features are not useful for accurate classification
- The features complement each other and improve the classification accuracy (correct)
