8 Questions
Which type of learning aims to build a model that can make accurate predictions on new, unseen data?
Supervised learning
What do we call the data that we use to evaluate the model's ability to generalize?
Test data
What do we mean when we say a model is able to generalize?
The model can make accurate predictions on unseen data
Which scenario can lead to a model being accurate on the training set but not on the test set?
Building a very complex model
What is the goal of the novice data scientist in the example?
To predict whether a customer will buy a boat
What can be a potential problem if the training and test sets do not have enough in common?
The model may not be accurate on the test set
What is the purpose of including records of customers who are not interested in buying a boat in the example?
To differentiate between potential buyers and non-buyers
What is the main reason for building a model that can make accurate predictions on the training set?
To ensure the model can generalize to new data
