Questions and Answers

What is the primary goal of introducing a 'bias' in an algorithm, specifically towards the correct classifier?

  • To prevent the algorithm from ever making mistakes.
  • To make the algorithm more resistant to adversarial attacks
  • To increase the computational efficiency of the algorithm.
  • To ensure the algorithm learns more quickly with minimal examples. (correct)

    • What is the implication of an algorithm being 'biased' towards the correct classifier?

  • The algorithm will always find the perfect solution.
  • The algorithm will become more complex.
  • The algorithm will be less prone to overfitting on the training data. (correct)
  • The algorithm will be more likely to generalise well to unseen data.

    • Which of the following can be considered a potential disadvantage of using a biased algorithm?

  • It may prevent the algorithm from learning from negative examples.
  • It may limit the algorithm's ability to discover alternative solutions. (correct)
  • It may increase the computational cost of the algorithm.
  • It may make the algorithm too sensitive to noise in the data.

    Study Notes

    Algorithm Bias

    • An algorithm should be biased towards the correct classifier, allowing it to learn with fewer examples.
    • This bias is analogous to a focus on a particular function type.
    • A well-designed algorithm will be "biased" towards the appropriate classifier.
